The rider manages to dodge the guard and attempts to walk away, but the guard follows closely behind.

They continue to wrestle until both of them fall to the ground.

Finally, the rider gets on his bike and rides away, with the guard still chasing him.

Incident occurred at Upper Bukit Timah condo on 31 Oct

The incident occurred at the Springdale Condominium, on Hindhede Walk off Upper Bukit Timah Road, a resident named only as Mr Qiu told Shin Min Daily News.

At about 3pm on 31 Oct, the 24-year-old student heard a commotion outside his window and recorded the fight, he said.

He understood that the rider was making a delivery but was turned away by the guard, leading to the clash.

The rider eventually did not fulfil his delivery, the resident believed.

MS News has reached out to the food delivery company for more information on the incident.

Security personnel should conduct themselves professionally: Association

Ms Lorraine Lim, Deputy President of the Security Association Singapore (SAS). told Shin Min that security personnel should conduct themselves professionally while handling incidents appropriately and following the directions of the condo management.

SAS has put up posters in all guardhouses to prevent such incidents from worsening, she said.

They also encourage guards and members of the public to have good relations with one another.
