Drunk man's joy ride in stolen tractor causes havoc in Orchard

A man in his 30s stole a tractor from a construction site near Orchard Road, ran it into a bus stop, and damaged four taxis during the joy ride, reported The Straits Times.

Chinese evening daily Shin Min Daily News reported that he had taken the tractor from a work site at Orchard Hotel. He drove it onto a walkway, ran over a bollard and crashed the vehicle into a bus stop along Orchard Road.

But that didn't stop him. He drove on, hitting a taxi along Claymore Road and ramming into a row of three taxis along Claymore Drive before he was caught.

The man has since been arrested and was believed to have been drunk. It is understood that the man was arrested for criminal trespass, theft, mischief and rash driving.
