SINGAPORE: At least three busloads of police officers in riot gear responded to a riot that broke out along Race Course Road in Singapore around 10pm on Sunday night.
The mob, believed to be made up mainly of foreign workers, apparently attacked an ambulance and a traffic police highway patrol car responding to an accident earlier in the vicinity.
Singapore's The Straits Times understands that a Bangladeshi worker was hit by a bus earlier and first responders were believed to be attending to the victim when the riot started.
At least two vehicles were set on fire.
According to preliminary reports from the ground, two vehicles were set on fire, an ambulance and a police car. A few police cars were also overturned.
At least two explosions occurred at the scene involving the vehicles.
Police have cordoned the entire Race Course Road as they try to contain the situation.
A section of the shops along Buffalo Road have been ordered to close their shutters. - ANN/Straits Times Watch a brief video by The Straits Times here:
