A video of a recent fight over an ATM machine at Geylang went viral on TikTok, but some netizens, citing the number of fights that have been seen on social media, are expressing concerns for their safety.
The TikTok shows a man sitting with blood oozing from his head. Blood can also be seen on the floor around him. Nearby, one man can be seen castigating another man, who is wearing a black sleeveless shirt and who appears to have been involved in the fight.

Later in the clip, police can be seen at the scene of the fight, which is said to have occurred on May 12. One man was brought conscious to the hospital after the incident.
The Tiktok was uploaded on May 13 on @hasanrakib789’s account. It has since been viewed over 387,000 times.
The man in the black shirt is said to have been in a queue at a POSB ATM at 250 Sims Avenue in Geylang. Shin Min Daily News reported that he ran out of patience with the man in front of him, and started a fight.
Police responded to an alert shortly before 8pm on May 12, and arrested two men, 43 and 53, for affray.
They are currently investigating the matter.
Commenters on TikTok expressed safety concerns, given the number of fights that have been in the news lately.
However, this is by no means the first time that a fight has broken out in Geylang.
Last June, around 10 people were caught on camera getting into a brawl.
In 2018, several fights were reported in Geylang. In March, videos of a brutal fight showing men raining blows on one victim went viral.
In September, passers-by were caught on video kicking the face of drunk man causing a nuisance in the area.
And in December of that year, a brawl broke out that involved shattered beer bottles at Lorong 21 Geylang. Beer bottles went flying through the air while some were used as weapons and landed on each other’s heads. /TISG
