SURAT: Videos of a man, suspected to be under the influence of alcohol or some other intoxicating substance, went viral on social media on Monday. In the video, the man, about 30 years of age, is seen sitting and walking in the middle of Pipodara flyover bridge on National Highway 48 near Kim in Surat.
This lead to a traffic jam as the man repeatedly blocked vehicles and also climbed on the roof of couple of them causing damage. One video shows the man breaking wipers, rearview mirrors and hitting on windshield of the cars. In one of the videos, the man is seen rolling on the road as he was hardly able to stand on his feet.
Multiple videos of the man creating ruckus on the bridge were viral on social media.
After a while, a few people got down from their vehicles and caught the man. Locals too joined in and took the man to the side of the road for questioning.
When locals asked him the reason for his behaviour, he kept quiet. It is also suspected that the man might be mentally disturbed.
“The man was nabbed and thrashed by people but he somehow managed to escape from the spot before police reached the spot,” said an official of Kosamba police station. He added that no formal complaint was lodged in connection with the incident.
