Several men became embroiled in a riot at Bendemeer Food Centre on Labour day evening. The riot, that occurred on Tuesday around 9pm, saw bottles breaking and chairs flying as the men involved pummeled each other viciously while shouting.

A video captured by an eyewitness mid-fight shows one man who appears to be either injured or exhausted lying on the ground, his head resting on the grilles of a drain.

The eyewitness’ friend who shared the video, Mr Darren, said that the men were allegedly drinking before a scuffle broke out and turned ugly. He added: “My friend said that the fight was between one group of older men and another group of younger men.”

While it remains unclear what the fight was really about, the police have confirmed that they were alerted to a case of rioting at 27 Bendemeer Road that day at 8.55pm.
