Singapore Resident Gets Unexpected “Flying Kick” While Exercising
On a cool Friday morning, Hindocha Nita Vishnubhai, a 55‑year‑old tutor who loves a brisk walk, was confronted by a man who not only shouted a racial slur but also tried to “kick” her—literally.
What Went Wrong?
- Location & Timing: Choa Chu Kang MRT station, heading toward the stadium at 8:30 am.
- The Incident: The woman lowered her mask below her nose to avoid breathlessness while she sprinted to her destination.
- Accusation: A middle‑aged male in a light T‑shirt and dark shorts demanded she lift her mask—despite her explaining she was exercising.
- Escalation: He threatened her with a racial slur.
- The “Flying Kick”:
He lunge‑dove lightning‑fast and hit her on the chest, causing her to fall to the ground. She sustained scratches on her arms and hands.
- Witness: A passer‑by from a nearby bus stop hurried to help, but the assailants fled.
Aftermath & Police Action
Following the attack, Madam Nita reported the incident to the police on Friday night and checked her injuries at a polyclinic on Monday. The authorities confirm a complaint has been filed, and the suspect is under investigation for voluntary hurt and harassment.
Under Singapore’s mask guidelines exercising people are allowed to slip off the mask during the burn‑out phase, but they must put it back on once the activity is finished.
What Does This Mean For Readers?
- You can still enjoy your run—just be mindful to keep your mask back on once you’re done.
- Wait for that high‑speed call from the authorities before attempting a “flying kick” on strangers.
- If you’re ever dared to get a “levered” kick while exercising, get out faster and get a scratch sticker .
More Than One Incident?
Earlier in May, a separate aggressive episode unfolded in Pasir Ris, where a suspect called an Indian family “spreading Covid‑19.” The video captured the exchange but is still under police review.
