2 men fighting at Whampoa Drive go live online, livestream leads to their arrests

A fight between two middle-aged men, aged 44 and 50, at Block 75 Whampoa Drive was broadcast live online, with the footage leading to their arrest.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) told Mothership that they were alerted to the incident at around 10:20am on Mar. 13, and two men were subsequently arrested for affray.

A Mothership reader also sent videos of the supposed livestream, where the two men can be heard arguing with each other.

According to Shin Min Daily News, a video posted online showed two men in dark clothes and pants clashing in an open-air parking lot.

One of the men rushed towards the other, shouting "fight" in Fujian dialect and swearing.

At one point, one man swung a baton at the other, and they began wrestling.

The broadcast lasted another 20 seconds before it was interrupted, where someone could be heard shouting, "Someone called the police! Run run run!"

The screen then went black.

Shin Min reported that one of the men's faces was identifiable in the video, and at least five people were watching the livestream.

SPF said a 44-year-old man suffered injuries but refused conveyance to the hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing.
