A netizen shared that his sister and father left their house to go out and buy some food home.

On their way back, a YP (who was with a group of others) spat saliva on them from the 2nd floor of a HDB block, as Block 12 Eunos Crescent.

A girl then pointed her middle fingers at them, which the father then took a photo of.

The group alleged that it was a “canned drink that spilled out” instead.
