Fights can break out for many reasons. When emotions run high, people often lose their sense of logic momentarily and choose violence as a means to an end.
In a digital era, however, fights don’t go unnoticed as almost everyone’s equipped with a smartphone these days. Visual evidence often makes it easier for the authorities to take action.
On Saturday (18 Jun), a street fight took place at Lorong 21 Geylang that landed two men, aged 44 and 51, in the hospital.
Three others have been arrested, including suspected gang members.

Shin Min Daily News reported that a witness saw one person bleeding from the head, and his arms were bandaged.
Two men, aged 44 and 51, were sent to Tan Tok Seng Hospital while conscious.
Three others have been arrested, including suspected gang members.
A 34-year-old man was charged with intentionally harming someone with a weapon. Meanwhile, a 43-year-old man and a 53-year-old man were arrested under the suspicion that they were gang members.
Geylang is a place where many Singaporeans gather to enjoy good food.
Therefore, it must have been a shock for passers-by to witness a fight break out of the blue.
Hopefully, the two men will recover well from their injuries, and the authorities will get to the bottom of this incident.
