A video emerged online showing a fight breaking out between a couple of PRC men and a Bangladeshi man at what appears to be a renovation site.
The men were seen wearing safety vests, and one of the PRC men was seen climbing on top of the Bangladeshi man, throwing punches at him.
The Bangladeshi man was seen wielding a wooden stick, as the two PRC men tried to wrestle the stick away from him.
Another group of workers then stepped in to try to break apart the fight, as someone started shouting “OK LAH, OK LAH, OK LAH! ENOUGH! ENOUGH! ENOUGH! NO FIGHTING!”
