A video of a violent dispute at the People’s Park Complex in Chinatown has been going viral online. The dispute occurred on Sunday evening (25 Feb) and a 29-year-old man was arrested for using criminal force against a public servant.
In the video, a man in a black shirt can be seen throwing punches at another man who picks up a red chair to strike the man in black. The man in black quickly turns another man who tries to stop him. A woman can be heard wailing as the man in black hammers several others who try to restrain him:

According to the police, who were alerted to the dispute at 10.44pm, the brawl was already over by the time officers arrived at the scene. When the 29-year-old saw the police, he tried to flee and officers gave chase. The man was finally arrested after he unsuccessfully tried to hit an officer with a glass bottle, but was unsuccessful.
It remains unclear what caused the dispute. Police investigations are ongoing.
