Fights in broad daylight may not be that common in Singapore. Even so, the violence seen in these incidents can be quite shocking.

However, footage of the incident has since gone viral, with some netizens jokingly comparing the lady involved to Chun-Li

The pair continued to tussle and exchange blows for a while.

Towards the end of the clip, the woman repeatedly kicked the van’s left side-view mirror, causing it to loosen.

In retaliation, the driver threw the lady to the ground before driving off.

Given the surroundings, it’s likely that the incident took place along Minto Road next to the City Gate shopping mall in Bugis.

Netizens express concern over violent scene

Others, however, offered a more light-hearted response to the fight. This user, for instance, compared the woman to Chun-Li — a popular character from the Street Fighter game series.

Hope both parties did not suffer serious injuries

Given the stressful times we’re living in, there’s probably plenty to get angry about. However, violence should never be the answer to any of our problems.

Hopefully, both individuals did not suffer any serious injuries as a result of the tussle. May this serve as a reminder for the rest of us not to get our hackles up unnecessarily.
