Four men who were allegedly involved in a fight outside of The Central @ Clarke Quay last Saturday night have been charged in court.

Muhammad Tarmizi Mohd Jailani, 21 years old; Muhammad Ashik Abdullah, 28; Alim Mohamed Zamrabi, 34 years old; and Norhairul Nizam Abdul Karim, 40, each faces one count of rioting with a deadly weapon.

They are accused of being part of an illegal meeting with a fifth unidentified man, with the common intention of causing harm to Mr. Victor Alexander Arumugam.

The incident was reported to have occurred outside The Tipsy Cow bar and bistro in the mall on Eu Tong Sen Street around 10.35 p.m. One of the men was armed with a knife, court documents said.

Three people, including a couple, were injured in the fight and were taken to Singapore General Hospital.

In videos taken at the scene, paramedics are seen treating a man, who screams in pain as a paramedic tries to stop the bleeding on his back. In another video, a woman is seen lying on the catwalk in blood.

The four defendants have been in pre-trial detention for a week at the Central Police Division on Cantonment Road with permission to take them to investigations.

Their cases will be heard again next Monday.

A manhunt is underway for the other suspects involved in the fight.

Those convicted of rioting with a deadly weapon can be imprisoned for up to 10 years and flogged.
