He then asked the stranger why he spat on them, to which the man replied, "You should not be with a Chinese girl! Your girlfriend should be my girlfriend!"
The Chinese man allegedly spat at him again and flipped the bird at the couple before boarding the escalator.
"I didn't know what to do. Got so angry that I teared up," the victim told Wake Up Singapore.
He went on to say that the incident surprised him because he had previously experienced racial microaggressions, but never from someone he had never met.
"This was the first time a completely random stranger had the audacity to do something like this," he added.

The Indian man has since filed a police report regarding the ordeal
Unfortunately, the victim was told that only the police could access the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, which documented the exact time frame of when the incident occurred, so he could not retrieve it.
AsiaOne has confirmed that the police received his report. An officer from the Tanglin Police Divisional Investigation Branch has also been assigned to investigate the case.
