Mumbai: A man has been arrested in Mumbai's Andheri area for performing threatening stunts while driving a car under the influence of alcohol, police said on Thursday.
The 26-year-old accused identified as Suraj Sav, a resident of Virar on the city’s outskirts, was doing the car stunts on the Andheri-Kurla Road late on Monday night, an official said.
A video of the dangerous stunts has been making rounds on the internet.
The clip captures Sav getting out of the moving car and moving the steering wheel while hanging out of the window.
He even briefly runs on the road while perilously clinging to the car’s window.
The official said after a few minutes, the accused lost control and hit another vehicle with his car.
A passerby witnessing the incident immediately dialed to the Police officers.
