Ang Mo Kio cleaner snoops on neighbour, gets into brawl, both arrested for causing affray

Singapore — Minding one’s business is sometimes the better option, especially when trying to avoid a fighting match. A cleaner at Ang Mo Kio experienced this first hand after getting into a fight with a resident because he had snooped into the latter’s unit, curious about an ongoing argument he heard.

Facebook page ROADS.sg uploaded a video on Saturday (Nov 20) of a midnight brawl at an open carpark.

Two men were caught on camera shouting, kicking, punching, choking and pulling on each other’s hair before another individual stepped in to stop the fight.

A woman was heard shouting at the men to stop fighting, or she would call the authorities.

Despite passersby’s attempts at diffusing the fight and separating the two men from each other, the duo still managed to escape restraint and attacked one another.

After three minutes of the brawl, the man in a black shirt was seen walking away from the carpark.

The incident is reported to have happened at Block 215 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 on Thursday (Nov 18) between two residents of the block.

Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily News reported that a 30-year-old cleaner heard an argument in the middle of the night from one of his neighbour’s units.

The cleaner, already awake from his sleep, decided to check what was going in.

He looked through the window to snoop and was seen by a 29-year-old man in the other unit.

The younger man confronted the cleaner, asking him what he was looking at. The younger man then instigated a fight.

Reports noted that the two men were eventually arrested for causing an affray.

The cleaner was also conveyed to a hospital. /TISG
