Stomper: 'He said he had no money to see the doctor and asked me for $100.'
A pedestrian allegedly pretended to be hit by his car and then asked for $100 to see a doctor., who is the driver, said it happened in a carpark at 59 Upper Changi Road on July 14 at about 5.45pm and shared dash cam video of the incident.
"This man rammed himself into my reversing car and made himself fall over like a cartoon character!" recounted the Stomper."After that, he pretended to be injured and even showed me a graze on his right knee that was self-inflicted prior to the incident," said the Stomper."I stepped away to make a phone call and then returned to take my car camera SD card and to escort him to make a police report, but he disappeared.
"There were also two shady bystanders asking me about the incident later on and one claimed to be police from Bedok. Showed me a police pass too, which I believe was fake. "Beware, people, these guys now operate in groups and they are now targeting reversing vehicles. They are probably hoping that there's no rear car camera.
"I've filed a police report and I'm going to file one more for the bystander impersonating a police officer."
