SINGAPORE — Two women, aged 49 and 31, have each been charged for committing a rash act during an alleged altercation along East Coast Road last week.

The pair — Nicolette Tan Shi-en, 31, and Elaine Michele Ow, 49 — each face one count of committing a rash act to endanger human life or the personal safety of others.

They were charged on Tuesday (June 6), the police confirmed with TODAY.

The incident took place last Friday.

In a video clip posted on Facebook page Beh Chia Lor, a cyclist — wearing a blue helmet and yellow shirt — was seen jumping onto the bonnet of a car, after an alleged argument with the car driver.

The car then accelerated in the direction of i12 Katong Mall, with the cyclist still clinging to the bonnet.

It was unclear what transpired after the video clip ended.

The police said then that they had received a call for assistance along 112 East Coast Road at 3.20pm.

No injuries were reported in the incident.

Tan, the cyclist, was handed an additional charge of obstructing the way of others and preventing a vehicle from moving forward, court documents stated.

For committing a rash act, offenders may face up to six months' jail or a fine of up to S$2,500, or both.

For obstructing any person in any public way or public line of navigation, offenders will face a fine of up to S$1,000.
