A fight broke out between two men at a coffee shop last Wednesday, in the 130 block of Jurong Gateway Road.

Police said they were alerted to a case of a reckless act causing injuries around 5.30 pm, and a 40-year-old man was taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.

Investigations are ongoing.

A 10-minute video of the incident circulating online shows two men, who appear to be drunk, behaving aggressively towards each other.

A man in a white shirt can be seen challenging another man, in a black shirt, who is lying on the ground.

Punching

The man in white is seen shouting vulgarities in the video and challenging the other man to a fight, telling him to get up.

After the man in black gets up, they shove and shove each other before exchanging blows.

They fall but they keep fighting.

Other men can be seen trying to stop the couple but without success.

After the couple get up, they continue to push and yell at each other until they call the police officers.

A cafeteria employee, who was not identified, told Shin Min Daily News on Saturday that four or five men had been sitting at the table and drinking before the fight broke out.

He said the man in the white shirt was hit by a beer bottle and taken to hospital.

The cafeteria manager, who also spoke with Shin Min, said that he called the police immediately after an employee informed him of the fight.

He added that his employees will remove the beer bottles from the tables as soon as possible to prevent them from being used as weapons in case a fight breaks out.
