Flight attendant hit by car boot
The incident occurred on 19 Feb at around 8.27pm. A video posted by @SGRV on Facebook showed the air stewardess placing her bags into the boot of a car, believed to be a private hire vehicle.
The driver of the car was assisting her as she placed her belongings into the boot.
As he attempted to shut the boot, the flight attendant suddenly leaned in. Unaware of this, the boot swung down with force, hitting her on the head.
