Drivers in Singapore are well aware of the dangers on the road, but not many may be privy to the ones that lie just by the sidewalk.
On Monday (12 Dec), a TikTok user uploaded a video allegedly showing a man throwing stones at moving cars along Simei Avenue.

Chucking the objects with some vigour, the man seemingly hit two cars vehicles before walking off.
It also appears that he was rather selective with his targets, only aiming at silver cars.
The 14-second clip was first uploaded to TikTok on 12 Dec, showing the stone-throwing man in action.
In the clip, a man dressed in a black singlet apparently held several stones in his palm while hiding behind a large tree along Simei Avenue, just across the road from Changi General Hospital.

He would then periodically peer over at the upcoming traffic, seemingly looking for his next victim.
After letting one or two cars pass him, he then loaded up what looks to be a stone in his hand before launching it at a silver SUV.
His next victim was a silver hatchback, which seemed to brake after sensing the stone’s impact.
He then hurled one last stone before circling around the tree and away from the scene.
Concerned netizens have urged the authorities to take action on the matter, with many pointing out how he needs to be stopped before a more severe accident occurs.
One TikTok user commended the OP for filming the incident as it may help affected drivers down the line.
In another comment, the OP said she has lodged a police report and provided footage of the incident.
