In early March, two male teenagers in Singapore went viral for spitting in a shopping mall.

The unhygienic act was carried out from the upper levels of the building.

A girl in the background could be heard laughing.

In a release on Mar. 12, the Singapore Police announced that two male and one female teenager, aged between 17-19, have been arrested in relation to the incident.

It was classified as a case of public nuisance.

The police had received a report of the video on Mar. 3, and preliminary investigations revealed that a 18-year-old male teenager had spit over the railing from Level 4 of the shopping mall Feb. 28, 2020 at about 6:30pm.

It was a mall in the central area of Singapore, the release added.

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from CCTVs, officers from Central Police Division established the identities of the three teenagers and arrested them.

The offence of public nuisance carries a fine which may extend to S$2,000.

If the act could potentially cause common injury, danger, or annoyance to the public, the offence will carry an imprisonment term which may extend to three months, or a fine which may extend to S$2,000, or both.

The police warned that they take a serious view of such "inconsiderate and irresponsible behaviour", especially during the current Covid-19 situation.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Said they cleaned up and apologised to Subway staff

Previously on Mar. 6, a Facebook user who claimed to be one of the teenagers in the video had gotten in touch with Mothership.

The user said that they had gone down to clean up the spit, which reportedly did not hit any shoppers.

He added that they have since apologised to the staff of Subway, which was ostensibly the affected unit.

In addition to a public apology, he also said that they "regret [their] decisions", and "would not like the situation to become worse".

When Mothership contacted a Subway representative, the staff at the outlet were apparently unaware of any such apology.

This is not the first time Singapore youths have investigated for spitting where they shouldn't.
