The Confrontation Begins

The second video captures the man persistently shouting while on the MRT platform, just moments before boarding the train. His behavior drew the attention of other commuters, adding to the intensity of the situation.
In the third video, the man engages in a heated argument with a Bayern Munich fan inside the train. He brandishes a Borussia Dortmund jersey, a team known to be a fierce rival of Bayern in the Bundesliga. He forcefully directs the Bayern fan’s attention to the jersey, further escalating the tension as he told the Bayern fan:
“Thomas Tuchel can f- himself from Chelsea, can tell Sadio Mane to f- off to Saudi Arabia league”.
The Verbal Rant
The man’s rant is believed to have been triggered by Liverpool’s loss, and his anger intensified after an altercation with another Liverpool fan just before boarding the train. The build-up of emotions culminated in the subsequent confrontations.
Once aboard the train, the man continued his tirade for several stops, causing discomfort among other passengers who had to witness the tumultuous scene.
The confrontation eventually came to an end when the man alighted at Paya Lebar MRT Station. in public spaces.
Witnesses recounted that many passengers were hesitant to intervene or confront the man during his outburst. Instead, they either avoided eye contact or chose to remain silent.
The TikTok user who posted the videos also mentioned that the man was also insulting the MRT staff during the incident.
