Two women were seen fighting it out over a man on Sunday (4 June) outside Tangs Orchard, as passers-by tried to step in and break up the fight.
A video capturing the incident was recently shared on the Singapore Incidents Facebook page. In the footage, two women, wearing heels, can be seen aggressively tugging at each other’s hair, attempting kicks, and even targeting each other’s faces.
As the situation escalated, onlookers maintained a safe distance while filming the altercation and verbally urging the women to cease their actions. Eventually, a concerned passer-by stepped in, endeavoring to separate the combatants. Two additional women quickly joined the efforts, but their collective attempts proved futile.
With the assistance of the bystanders, the women were eventually pulled apart and temporarily separated. However, this brief respite was short-lived. Soon after, one of the women angrily threw an object resembling a cellphone to the ground, reigniting the conflict. The other woman retaliated by picking up the object and approaching her adversary.
Mall security personnel promptly intervened once more, managing to separate the women while signaling for the crowd to disperse. They also mediated the situation while the women adjusted their disheveled appearances.
Regrettably, the peace did not endure. After a brief intermission, the situation quickly escalated again, prompting the intervention of mall security personnel. Meanwhile, bystanders captured the entire incident on video.
According to Singapore Incidents’ caption accompanying the video, the altercation stemmed from a relationship-related conflict over a man. Lianhe Zaobao reported that the police have received a report regarding the incident and are currently conducting investigations.
Law enforcement authorities have arrested a 43-year-old woman on charges of affray, while a 42-year-old woman is cooperating with the police in their investigation.
