Drunk Man Almost Hit By Bus In Bukit Merah, Passers-By Bring Him To Safety

Passers-By Bring Drunk Man To Safety On 12 Mar

Getting intoxicated can make individuals confused and do things that are out of the ordinary. In certain situations, this can be very dangerous.

At around 9.16pm on Saturday (12 Mar), a man who appeared to be tipsy was seen staggering along Lower Delta Road in Bukit Merah.

At one point, a bus drove by precariously close to him.

Fortunately, a group of kind Samaritans helped to bring him to the safety of the pavement.

He seemed to be struggling to get onto the pavement as cars zoomed by on the road behind him.

Shortly after, he started losing his balance and stumbled backwards onto the busy road.

As he kept moving backwards, a couple walking by noticed the man’s unusual behaviour. They slowed down as they watched him.

At that moment, a bus drove by behind the man, narrowly missing him as he continued taking tiny steps back. Car horns could be heard sounding in the background.

Seeing this, the passer-by immediately went forward to offer his help. But just as he held onto the man, the latter lost his balance and fell over.

Together, the 3 passers-by carried the man away from the busy road and onto the pavement.

Drunk man saved by kind-hearted samaritans

The way the man was stumbling in the middle of a busy junction was dangerous, and it was a close call when the bus drove past right behind him.

Kudos to the passers-by who took the initiative to help the man.

Hopefully, these kind Samaritans’ actions can inspire more people to look out for those amongst us who may need help.
