The excitement of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix took an unfortunate turn for Karen Beh, an attendee of the event’s second day. In a shocking incident, Karen experienced a distressing encounter that marred her Saturday night.
She took to TikTok to share her harrowing experience where she was allegedly grabbed by a man on her right thigh, and the ensuing fight saw punches being thrown.
The Incident Unfolds
The night started off like any other exciting evening at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix. Karen Beh, along with her group, was making their way to the Padang to catch Post Malone’s performance.
The clock was nearing 10:30 pm when the incident occurred. Karen was walking behind her boyfriend, with her sister and her sister’s boyfriend, Kaci and Bryan, trailing behind.
As they made their way through the venue, a man in a floral shirt suddenly approached Karen from the opposite direction.
In a shocking turn of events, he allegedly extended his right arm and grabbed Karen’s right thigh. The timing and nature of the touch left Karen baffled.
She emphasized that the area wasn’t crowded, and there was plenty of space around them. She said that even if the man swung his arms while he was walking, it would be impossible for him to accidentally touch her. However, he allegedly reached out his right arm and touched her right thigh firmly.
Confrontation and Chaos
Kaci and Bryan, who witnessed the incident from behind, couldn’t let this disrespectful act go unnoticed. They verbally confronted the man about his inappropriate behavior, but the man adamantly denied any wrongdoing.
The situation escalated when a man in a red shirt joined the commotion. He forcefully shoved Kaci and Bryan, causing them both to fall to the ground.
Karen expressed her belief that the man in the red shirt might not have fully understood the situation and reacted impulsively by resorting to physical violence.
Subsequently, a brawl broke out between the man in the red shirt and Bryan, further escalating the already chaotic scene.
Even the accused’s wife seemed to doubt Karen’s claims, asking, “Why would he touch you?” The situation spiraled out of control, leading to the eventual arrival of the police.
Police Intervention
The police were summoned to the F1 Singapore Grand Prix premises at 10:48 pm on September 16 in response to the distressing situation.
They swiftly took action, arresting the 36-year-old man for outrage of modesty. Another 37-year-old man was also brought in to assist with investigations into the incident, as he was involved in causing harm during the altercation.
At the time of writing, police investigations into the incident are currently underway.
Karen Beh’s TikTok post
Happened around 1030pm, if you were there and happen to have any footages of the what went down please reach out and send it over! (We really need to get a hold of the CCTV footage)
Full story: I was walking behind my boyfriend (Tyrus), my sister (Kaci) and her boyfriend (Bryan) was walking behind me.
We were walking towards the Padang for Post Malone after catching the qualifying round when an American man (floral shirt) walking in the opposite direction, intentionally extended his right arm to grab my right thigh.
It wasn’t crowded, there was plenty of space around us. Kaci and Bryan who were behind me, saw exactly what just happened and verbally confronted him.
He continuously denied upon confrontation. Out of nowhere, his friend (man in red) came in and shoved Kaci and Bryan, and they both fell to the floor (We believe man in red does not know the situation at hand, and he just started to throw hands).
At this point Tyrus turned around and was assisting Kaci and Bryan. Bryan quickly got up but man in red threw a punch towards Bryan’s head.
A brawl then started between them. The wife of the assaulter had later on questioned me “Why would he touch you?” like ????
