A 47-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly threw a bicycle down from Block 11 Upper Boon Keng Road early yesterday morning.

In a media release yesterday, the police said officers from Bedok Police Division conducted extensive ground enquiries and arrested the man on the same day for a rash act.

It is understood that it is an ofo bike.

If convicted, the suspect can be jailed up to six months and fined up to $2,500.

The statement added that the police "take a serious view of such dangerous acts that endanger the lives of others and will take swift action against the perpetrators".

This is the latest in a spate of bike abuse incidents.
