The incident happened at around 8:30pm outside Kim Poh Hong Goldsmith, located near Pickering Street in Chinatown.

The four men were of similar age, appeared intoxicated, and started to quarrel after arriving at the scene, according to Shin Min.

The noise alerted members of the public, and the police were notified.

A 23-year-old man was subsequently subdued by a few officers and arrested for obstructing the police in the discharge of their duties.

The police did not specify the nationalities of the four men, and investigations are still ongoing.
