Fight breaks out beside Katong Square, one man with tattoos retrieving weapon to attack

A video of a fight that took place in a small lane just beside Katong Square made its way around WhatsApp messenger on Monday (Apr 4).

About nine or ten people were involved in the fight near Katong Square, most of them dressed in black. In the minute-long clip, a few girls could be seen running towards the men, trying to stop the fight. According to TISG’s sources, the video took place at about 11.30 pm.

About 15 seconds into the clip, a man in a white T-shirt runs in, trying to stop some other men from fighting. However, one of them held him in a chokehold and could be seen pulling him back where he fell to the ground. He can then be seen rolling on the ground trying to get up.

As the rest run amok, one man with tattoos could be seen going to his car to retrieve what looked like a weapon or a knife. He took out the weapon and walks off after another person.

The man who was held in a chokehold is then lifted by his shirt and dragged off to the side of the road.

The camera then turns to the man with the weapon. He looks directly at the camera and appears to shout at the person filming the clip. The man then bends down in his car, slams the door and walks off. As the video ends, the camera pans and the rest of the group appears to have gone off as well, with a white car driving past.

It is unclear if this was a gang-related fight, but TISG will update the story once more information is uncovered. /TISG
