One man from the mob was seen in a video striking the windscreen and windows of the bus with a pole, while another tossed a litter bin at the vehicle from close range, shattering the front windscreen.
This even as the crowd continued to grow, cheering and shouting vulgarities in Tamil - turning violent in a matter of minutes, said eyewitnesses.
First responders to the accident, including a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) ambulance and a police patrol car, arrived at the junction of Race Course Road and Hampshire Road shortly after they received a call for help at 9.23pm.
SCDF rescuers were trying to reach the victim, who was trapped under the bus with hydraulic tools when the crowd apparently attacked them.
"Projectiles were thrown at the SCDF rescuers while they were extricating the body," said a spokesman.
The mob spiralled out of control quickly after that, turning on the police, including the reinforcements who had arrived by then.
"Some of the men lit beer bottles with fire and threw them at the police, I saw them throw more than 10 bottles," said P. Kannan, who was waiting for a friend at the Little India MRT station.
