A fight broke out between a group of men, somewhere along Geylang Lorong 8, and ended up with 4 people purportedly being arrested following the brawl.
There was a lot of pushing and shoving involved, as some members of the group tried to separate the two men who were having a heated argument, before a man wearing a pink shirt threw a right hook to the man in blue’s face, sending him staggering backwards.
That punch then sparked an all-out brawl, with the man in blue then rushing into the middle of the group to “return the favour” and throw a punch of his own.
The impact sent a few members of the group falling onto the ground after being knocked off balance, and a man in white was seen trying to hold the man in pink back.
Another man wearing orange was seen being ganged up on by two other men who were raining blows and stamping on him.
Soon, more people joined in and punches were flying everywhere, with loose slippers laying all over the road.
