Chaotic Sunday on Syed Alwi Road: Five Arrests and a Crashed Car
On a quiet March 6th morning, two separate spats erupted on Syed Alwi Road that rocketed the local police into action. While the first involved a horned driver and two passengers turning a simple traffic bump into a full‑blown brawl, the second saw a 29‑year‑old jawbreaker knocking out a Mercedes‑Benz windshield just after midnight.
Affray After the Horn: Five Arrested
- The incident began when a driver honked at pedestrians walking along the street.
- A heated quarrel followed, involving the driver, his two passengers, and the pedestrians.
- During the tussle, fists flew and blows were exchanged.
- Police from the Central Police Division traced the suspects through on‑the‑ground enquiries and brought five men in custody on Friday.
Effect? The offence, known as affray, can land someone up to a year behind bars or a $5,000 fine — not exactly a holiday in hopes of somewhere sunny.
Murder on the Mercedes: The Windshield Wreck
- At 3:02 am on March 6th, a 29‑year‑old man punched a Mercedes‑Benz so hard it cracked the windshield.
- He was later taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital for injuries.
- A viral video shows a chaotic scene: overturned tables and chairs, a black driver’s seat filled by a man, and a red‑clad fighter who couldn’t keep his hands off the glass.
- The man in black drove off while the red‑clad fighter was still smashing.
Police warned that “voluntarily causing hurt” in the city’s ticket book can be a serious offense. The authorities are still digging into the aftermath of that night.
