A video emerged online showing a group of men fighting at a hawker centre, in full view of the public, as the men rained blows on each other.
The group was seen in front of a stall selling pastries, with one of the men using his hands to cover his head and cowering down.
The man in white then held the man down, while the other man then rained punches on the victim, to the horror of the diners.
The woman who was presumably filming the incident, was seen asking “what happened?”, before shouting for them to stop as the men rained blows on the man.
The man was then dragged to the other side of the stall, before being savagely beaten by a man in grey with his mask down.
