Video of construction workers fighting goes viral, others onsite just watched as man gets punched in the head

A video of two construction workers fighting went viral last week. The 16-second-long clip garnered over 12,000 views within four days. The fight allegedly took place at a work site of the Bukit Batok-Tengah link project.

According to Zul, the netizen who took the video, the man to be blamed was the safety officer on site. In the comments section, other netizens said that the safety officer was the one wearing a blue hardhat and could be seen in the clip using his mobile phone to record the fight.

In the clip, two men could be seen scuffling while holding a pole between them. One was wearing safety gear, a hardhat and a vest. It is unclear from the clip who had used the pole to attack the other, but as the fight progressed, the man in the hardhat seemed to get the upper hand, slapping and punching his opponent.

In the comments section, many asked why those around did not come in to help, but Zul wrote that they were all more interested in filming the incident than stopping it.

Recently, videos of a fight between two men in a coffee shop have also gone viral online; one used nearby plastic chairs to defend himself, while another attacked with a knife.

“Bukit Merah!” wrote Facebook user Patrick Tan on Wednesday (June 29), referring to the location of a fight between two men.

Mr Tan’s post included a video of a man in a black shirt charging toward another man with an object presumed to be a knife in his hand.
