A partially nude woman was seen running down Mohamed Sultan Road near Clarke Quay in the wee hours of this morning (8 May).
The bizarre scene was witnessed by a 16-year-old student known only as Lin, who snapped a photo of the woman as he passed by the area in a taxi.
Lin said the woman looked like she was in her twenties and one of her breasts was showing.
She was also holding her pants and her underwear in her hands.
Lin said the woman was chasing four men down the street at about 5.25am. She apparently didn’t seem perturbed by the shocked looks from the public.
Other women who appeared to be her friends were chasing her from behind.
The fleet footed woman managed to catch up with the men only to be ganged up upon and beaten to the ground.
The feisty woman repeatedly tried to get up as the men rained punches and kicks on her.
Lin said he noticed people at a nearby coffeeshop but none stepped forward to help the woman.
The student resorted to winding down his window and crying out that the police were here, in a bid to stop the men’s assault.
Later on, police arrested four men in their 20s to 30s at the scene.
A male employee of a nearby convenience store told reporters that the woman had come to the store with a man some time before the incident.
The woman was already partially nude at the time.
“She was standing outside while the man came into the store to buy drinks. I got a shock when I saw that she was partly nude. But the two of them behaved like there was nothing wrong so I didn’t say anything,” said the store employee.
It is not known if the woman is a local or a foreigner.
