A man broke into a construction site at Orchard Hotel, stole a tractor, and drove it into a bus stop and four taxis yesterday morning (Jun 15).
According to a report on Shin Min Daily News via MyPaper, police arrested the man, who is in his 30s and believed to have been drunk. They had received a call requesting assistance at about 6.30am in Orchard Road.
Shin Min's reporter saw the man, a Caucasian, sitting in a police car the scene while looking dazed. A tractor was seen in front of three taxis, which had been pushed together by the vehicle.
It appears that the man also knocked down a barrier on the pavement and had driven the tractor into a bus stop, after driving out of the construction site.
He then collided with a taxi as he turned from Orchard Road to Claymore Road. Along Claymore Road, the vehicle turned right into a white Mercedes taxi which was parked in Claymore Drive.
In a chain reaction, the taxi struck a taxi behind it, which then hit another one behind it.
An eyewitness told Shin Min that the man even swerved the loader from side to side to "wiggle" the taxi.
One taxi driver, who did not want to be named, said the man shouted "someone wants to kill me" at one point.
No one was injured in the incident. The police said investigations are ongoing
