Fight eventually stops with intervention
Both men then continue to tussle with each other while the women attempt to break up the fight. The man in grey and another stall employee similarly try to do so, to little avail.
In the chaos that ensues, the elderly man in the black shirt suffers a kick to his chin.
The woman in the white shirt hits both parties in the fight with what seems to be a slipper.
Eventually, the group is able to successfully pull the duo apart.
The elderly man is led toward one of the stalls while the women guide his counterpart towards a chair.
Even then, he seems infuriated, pointing his finger and shouting at his adversary.
Police arrest two men for incident
Speaking to 8world News, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed they received a report regarding the incident at around 9.05pm at Block 327 Hougang Avenue 5.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said three people had suffered minor injuries from the fight. They transported two of them to Sengkang General Hospital, with the third refusing assistance.
SPF confirmed that the two victims, 53 and 63, reached the hospital conscious, and officers arrested them for causing trouble.
A police investigation into the matter is now ongoing.
