This is the dramatic moment a female motorist was pinned to the ground during a parking dispute with a taxi driver in Singapore.

Footage shows the woman lying on the pavement as she fought with the cabbie in a car park in Whampoa Drive on June 21.

She grabbed the man's collar and refused to let go, even when an elderly bystander tried to intervene.

The man was seen trying to remove her hands from his shirt as his passenger, a young woman in the front seat, watched the row unfold from inside a silver sedan.

The female driver let go once she grew tired, but she then yanked on the windscreen wiper of the sedan before driving away.

Both parties retreated into their vehicles and drove away as locals called the police.

A resident, Hu, 48, said he was in his home when he heard screaming and honking from the street below. He looked out the window and saw the woman allegedly blocking the taxi driver's path as he honked the horn and tried to manoeuvre around her.

Hu said: 'It was quite dangerous. I was worried she might get injured.'

He added that he called the police, concerned that the altercation might turn violent.

Police confirmed that a report was lodged and investigations were ongoing.
