Crazy things happen after 2am.

Perhaps it's the tranquility of the night, the witching hour, or just alcohol.

This time, it was alcohol.

Staff at a bak kut teh shop located at 365 Balestier Road learned that the hard way in the wee hours of Saturday morning when a few drunk men entered, and started causing a scene.

Here is the video of it unfolding on camera:

According to details in a Facebook post by the shop, called Balestier Bak Kut Teh (Kin Lian), the man wearing a black T-shirt was upset after not getting immediate attention from the staff, and started throwing cutlery onto the floor.

He then got up, stomped into frame and knocked over a steamer, after first throwing a chair and flipping a table.

The description to the video adds that he and the men accompanying him, who initially appeared to be trying to restrain him, left the shop and hopped onto a blue Comfort taxi at about 2:41am.

Here's the full statement accompanying the shop's CCTV video of the incident:
