According to eyewitness accounts, the two individuals were involved in a heated argument that quickly escalated into a physical fight. The cause of the disagreement remains unclear, but onlookers report that the atmosphere between the two men was tense and hostile prior to the altercation.
One of the men, described as being in his early 30s and of average build, was observed to be the initial aggressor.

The fight, which lasted for several minutes, attracted the attention of nearby residents and passersby. Some individuals attempted to intervene and separate the two men, but their efforts were met with resistance.
