'Suddenly started fighting': 2 men get into bloody brawl on MRT train, frightening passengers
A man suffered an injury on his head after brawling with a fellow passenger on an MRT train last Saturday (June 1) morning.
The scuffle broke out as the North East Line train was travelling from Kovan to Serangoon, reported Shin Min Daily News.
An eyewitness surnamed Chen recounted: «It all happened so suddenly. There was no movement in the train carriage and no quarrelling sounds, but the two men suddenly started fighting.»
In a 23-second clip of the altercation taken by her, a man in an orange T-shirt pushes another man dressed in grey and carrying a backpack against the train door. The latter retaliates with a punch and both men start throwing fists.
As they stumble to the floor, another passenger in a black T-shirt steps in between the men to break up the melee, shouting for them to stop. He holds the man in grey in a headlock and drags him away.
The man in orange gets up, blood trickling down the side of his head. Splatters of blood can also be seen on the carriage floor.
Throughout the altercation, a girl can be heard crying in the background.
