Man allegedly used baseball bat to attack other man during Woodlands fight
A rojak stallholder told the Chinese daily that they were busy with the lunchtime crowd when they heard the fight in progress and a crowd gathered to watch.
Fortunately, a young man who was there to pick up his takeaway stepped in to restrain one of the men, or the situation could have been much worse, she said.
She also heard that one of the men allegedly attacked the other with a baseball bat, but she was not sure who brought it.
Reporters later saw a long object wrapped in a black bag on a table, which could have been the implement used.
