City Gate brawl allegedly started from a stare

At about 1.10am on Tuesday (22 Feb), a fight broke out between 2 men at JueWei store in City Gate.

Recounting the incident with CCTV footage, the store owner shared with Shin Min Daily News that the 2 men were the only ones in the store at the time.

After paying for his food, one of the men apparently looked at the display cabinet while carrying his food.

However, the other tattooed man stopped him in his tracks and questioned why he stared at him.

The man with the bag raised his hand to stop him from approaching. However, the other man proceeded to punch him and a fight soon ensued.

No need for violence

When misunderstandings occur, it’s always best to talk things out calmly.

After all, violence does not solve any problems and can sometimes even create new ones.

MS News wishes the injured man a speedy recovery ahead.
