Two arrested after fight breaks out at A&W at Jewel Changi

Singapore—A fight seemingly between several individuals, in front of a fast-food outlet at Jewel Changi Airport on Sunday, December 8, resulted in the arrest of two men.

The men, ages 43 and 45, were arrested for affray after the fight, a spokesman for the Police told The Straits Times (ST). Both of the men suffered from minor injuries.

A 15-second video clip of the brawl has made rounds on WhatsApp as well as on sock media, Facebook pages Legit Singapore and All Singapore Stuff both uploading the footage, which showed a number of both men and women stepping in to separate the individuals involved in the fight, which occurred in front of A&W, a hamburger chain from the United States known for its long queues.

The police said they received an alert concerning the brawl at 11 o’clock on Sunday morning.

The ST report says that a spokesman for Jewel had no details to add concerning the fight, when questioned, and that the incident is now being investigated by the police.

A woman named Lekha K Silva uploaded the clip to Twitter as well, captioning it, “Drama at A&W cause of seats, relax la guys, take ferry to bayam eat and come back.”

Some netizens wondered what the fight was all about

Netizens could not seem to resist poking fun at the brawlers.

Others seemed genuinely puzzled as to why anyone would fight over the food at A&W, presuming that was the cause of the altercation. 

Yet others said that this kind of behavior does not characterise Singapore
