Residents alerted police to situation
Ms Chen said that some residents initially tried speaking to the man, but their efforts often led to heated arguments.
Instead of stopping, the man grew more aggressive and allegedly started playing music even earlier, at about 4am.
“We couldn’t stand it anymore and had to call the police,” Ms Chen recounted.
She added that the most recent incident occurred just last Wednesday (25 May), prompting her to alert the police.
Man allegedly denied playing music when questioned by authorities
When questioned by the police, the man reportedly claimed that the radio didn’t belong to him.
However, after the police left, the man allegedly continued playing music and even told nearby vendors that the officers “could do nothing to him”.
One of the vendors later called the police again, but the man reportedly turned off the music when he saw the police cars arriving.
