An attendee of the second day of F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Karen Beh, took to TikTok to share how her Saturday night turned sour after a man "grabbed her right thigh".
A fight ensued between the two parties with their friends throwing punches at each other.
Beh hopes she can find witnesses or any footages that she can use to support her case against the man.
@karenbehh ⚠️ Happened around 1030pm, if you were there and happen to have any footages of the what went down please reach out and send it over! (We really need to get a hold of the CCTV footage😭) Full story: I was walking behind my boyfriend (Tyrus), my sister (Kaci) and her boyfriend (Bryan) was walking behind me. We were walking towards the Padang for Post Malone after catching the qualifying round when an American man (floral shirt) walking in the opposite direction, intentionally extended his right arm to grab my right thigh. It wasn’t crowded, there was plenty of space around us. Kaci and Bryan who were behind me, saw exactly what just happened and verbally confronted him. He continuously denied upon confrontation. Out of nowhere, his friend (man in red) came in and shoved Kaci and Bryan, and they both fell to the floor (We believe man in red does not know the situation at hand, and he just started to throw hands). At this point Tyrus turned around and was assisting Kaci and Bryan. Bryan quickly got up but man in red threw a punch towards Bryan’s head. A brawl then started between them. The wife of the assaulter had later on questioned me “Why would he touch you?” like ???? 🫥 #fyp #singapore #f1singapore ♬ Thinking Where You've Been for so Long - Tollan Kim
What happened
Beh said that her group was making their way to the Padang for Post Malone's performance after the F1 Singapore Grand Prix qualifying round at around 10:30pm last night.
She was walking behind her boyfriend while her sister and her sister's boyfriend (Kaci and Bryan) were behind her.
At one point, a man in a floral shirt, walking from the opposite direction, "intentionally extended his right arm to grab [her] right thigh", Beh recounted.
She added that the area wasn’t crowded and there was "plenty of space" around them.
"He was adjacent from me and even if he did swing his arms while walking, he would not have possibly touched me. However, he intentionally reached out his right arm and touched my right thigh. It was a firm touch," Beh told Mothership.

Kaci and Bryan saw what had happened from behind and "verbally confronted" the man about what he had done, but the latter continuously denied.
A man in a red shirt joined the commotion, shoving Kaci and Bryan away which caused both to fall to the ground.
"We believe [the] man in red does not know the situation at hand, and he just started to throw hands," Beh commented.
The man in red shirt got into a brawl with Bryan subsequently.
The accused's wife also did not seem to believe what Beh claimed and asked, "Why would he touch you?"

The accused was eventually handcuffed by police officers from the Special Operations Command while Beh made a police report.
