Second-hand smoking is bad, but threatening someone with a saw is also not that great.

A 51-year-old bald man was in Geylang Lorong 25A with his two friends on April 3 at around 8.50pm, when he noticed a man smoking near him.

The man was apparently smoking inside the smoking corner and the bald man was also sitting in the smoking area.

However, according to Seehua News, the smoker allegedly kept nudging his chair nearer to the bald man.

To the point that the smoke was wafting over to where the bald man was sitting.

This led to the bald man reminding the smoker that the smoke had wafted into his general area.

The reminder then set the smoker off.

The smoker allegedly stood up and shouted at the bald man, insisting that he was in the smoking section.

The bald man stood up and left.

So everything is okay, right?

Everything was not ok

It is suspected that it was during this brief detente that the bald man went and bought himself a 30cm saw from a nearby hardware store.

Some 10 minutes later, he came back to the very same place where the smoker was.

He then proceeded to threaten and eventually attack the smoker.

The smoker retaliated by hitting the bald man's head with a beer bottle.

According to The Straits Times, the bald man suffered a cut on his head while the smoker suffered a laceration from his right ear to cheek.

Shin Min Daily News also revealed that both of them had been sitting in the smoking zone at the coffee shop.

Both of them were taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, while the bald man was arrested.
