Drunk man refuses to queue for toilet, allegedly cuts patron with broken glass in Clarke Quay, Singapore News

Huh, a drunken brawl at Drunk Skunk turns into a cut‑and‑chatter melee

Two usualbar moments went sideways when a tipsy bloke at Drunk Skunk in Circular Road got a little too rowdy over the toilet line—only to end up slicing an unlucky fellow with glass and refusing the police’s request to show his ID. It’s a story that turns into a cautionary tale about how too much can go wrong.

What actually happened?

  • The main player – a 52‑year‑old Caucasian, swaying from his pint tabs to the point that even the toilet queue became too big a deal.
  • The inciting incident – after ditching his buddy’s side, he picks up two empty glasses from a countertop, shatters them, and each burst is a tiny but sharp lash of broken plastic.
  • The extra casualty – a good‑natured onlooker who stepped in gets a clean cut on the arm from the jagged glass shards.
  • The heat‑up – witnesses spotted him bellowing and, unsurprisingly, waving his fists like a Full‑Metal Alchemist— but this time it’s the real world.
  • Police step in, drama unfolds

    The police arrived to the “shark‑meets‑water” scene and found the drinker’s full‑on sass:
    “Take your hands off me. I’ve been in jail so many times, I know the rules.”The officer, noticeably smaller and very much Singapore‑style calm, responded:
    “This is Singapore, not UK, sir. Let’s keep this neat. Show me a ID, please.”Not a pretty moment—he was audacious, shouting salty and racist words at the officers, refusing to hand over his details, and that’s when the enforcement squad had to pull him down. The guy was ultimately found violently resisting arrest and using threatening language— a winning combo for the Protection from Harassment Act.

    Outcome

  • Arrest – charged with voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means and bad‑mouthing a public servant.
  • Injury – the 47‑year‑old victim had a minor cut that he decided not to bring to a hospital.
  • Ongoing checks – the police are still digging into the whole ordeal.
  • Quick rundown

    Why it’s a heads‑up

    If you’re planning a night out, keep the toilet queues in mind, stay clear of cutting others, and most importantly—no bar‑glass‑cutting. It’s a safe, and liable, practised approach to drinking. Even the friendly Bar Manager warns: “Shake it off, dear, but don’t wish you the broken glass fate.”
    So, next time you hit up a local spot, maybe bring a silverware in case, and perhaps ask a menu question before sliding into a messy midnight whodunnit.

  • Cheers for that*.
  • Picture the scene. A man, brimming with liquid courage, turns the bar into a stage.
