Midnight Mayhem in Tanjong Pagar: A 23‑Year‑Old Arrested
What happened? A brawl broke out on Tanjong Pagar Road at around 3:30 am. Ten people got involved, one brandishing a knife and another ending up with a bleeding ear.
Police were called the following Saturday. A 23‑year‑old man caught on camera and later detained by the Criminal Investigation Department and Central Police Division is now in custody.
How will he face justice? He will be charged for voluntarily causing grievous hurt with a dangerous weapon and could face up to 15 years in prison and a hefty fine – plus caning, if found guilty.
How the fight unfolded
- Three or four people collided on the road, clinging to each other as if they were in a no‑hold rules dance.
- A white‑shirted fighter tried to escape but slipped right in the middle of the street.
- Someone in black swooped in, armed, swinging the weapon and pushing the standoff‑fighting black‑shirted guy away.
- Eyewitnesses, a curious woman in particular, shouted “Stop!” – the chaos eventually died down.
Can you see it? (No links, just the story)
Short 46‑second clip circulated on Facebook shows the all‑out street showdown. Quite the spectacle, yet terrifying for the folks on the sidewalk.
