A woman's finger was nearly severed during a fight next to an Indian eatery at Tanjong Pagar on Wednesday (April 16). According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident took place at around 7pm in front of a shophouse on the corner of Neil Road and Spottiswoode Park Road.  When a reporter got to the scene, he noticed a large area of blood in front of the eatery, extending to nearly 30m. There was also a blood-soaked white garment. An employee at the eatery told Shin Min that he had seen blood on the ground, but did not know what happened and only learnt later that there was a fight. Others working there also said that they had noticed the police presence, but the eatery was too busy for them to pay much attention. A woman working nearby told the reporter that she saw a long-haired woman in her 30s, standing on the side of the road, with the left side of her body, including her head and arms, covered in blood. A man, whose relationship to the woman the witness was unclear about, was heard telling her to sit down.

Two men were arrested following a fight at Hougang Green Shopping Mall on April 9. A video of the incident shows one man appearing to be the aggressor while the other tries to make his escape. Posted on the Facebook page Singapore News on Wednesday (April 16), the clip shows the two men tussling on the ground of an open air food court. One of the men, in a white polo shirt, repeatedly proclaims: «I say sorry already, bro.» The man, who appears to have cuts on his face and blood in his mouth, falls over but manages to back away, using a plastic chair as a barrier. He also tells the other man, dressed in an orange t-shirt, to «go away» repeatedly, but the latter tackles him and they both fall over again. The former gets up again and walks towards the food stalls while the other man continues to follow him. The man in the orange t-shirt can then be seen pushing the other man up against a half-wall, and another man approaches the pair to physically break up the brawl. Netizens were alarmed, with one commenting: «Where are the police or security officers to stop this big bully?»
