It is suspected that someone may have been attacked and collapsed on the ground. He was surrounded by 5-6 people, with 2 of them reportedly pummelling and kicking him still.

Police investigating incident

Police said they were alerted to the incident at 100 Orchard Road at 10.27pm.

However, when they arrived at the scene, the crowd had already dispersed and they found no one injured.

After speaking to witnesses, it was revealed that a dispute did take place earlier, but both sides had resolved it on their own.

Investigations are ongoing.

Hope no one was seriously injured

While the crowd had reportedly dispersed before police arrived, we hope that those involved in physical altercation weren’t seriously injured.

Violence simply begets violence, so it is never the answer when it comes to resolving misunderstandings and conflicts.

We hope police will get to the bottom to the incident, and ensure that something like this won’t happen again.
