A 71-year-old man was dragged by a scooter across the street in Bengaluru's Magadi, the police said on Tuesday.

A video of the incident also went viral on social media.

The scooter rider allegedly hit a four-wheeler, and when questioned, the scooter rider tried to escape, and the four-wheeler driver got hold of the scooter.

The accused scooter rider, the police identified as Sahil (25), however, did not stop and the video showed the four-wheeler driver was seen dragging behind the scooter.
