A video emerged online showing a group of youths gathering at a carpark as part of what appears to be “settlement talks” between two girls.
The youths were seen congregating in a group of about 12 to 13 people, as they urged the two girls to “spar”.
One of the girls was seen extending her hand out to the other girl for a handshake, which was rejected, and the two then started exchanging blows with each other soon after.
The girl in jeans was seen grabbing the other girl by the shirt and dragging her, as she tried to kick her and punched her in the face.
She then dragged the girl down onto the ground before punching her again in the face and kicking her while she was down.
The group of youths were seen cheering as the fracas unfolded and escalated before them, and they were also seen not wearing their masks, with one of the boys seen openly vaping as well.
It is unclear who the youths are or where the incident happened.
