Man, 61, gets into fight with staff at Bedok North coffee shop, shoves police officers
The man a regular customer and had never caused any trouble before.
An elderly man, 61, engaged in a physical altercation with staff at a coffee shop in Bedok North, Singapore. The incident occurred around 8pm on September 4th, according to multiple sources. The man reportedly consumed two to three bottles of beer before the fight began.
A male diner, identified as Liu, recounted the events to Chinese news outlet Shin Min Daily News. He stated that the man had a heated argument with a female employee, leading to a fight between the two that lasted for some time. After a brief pause, another stall owner intervened and confronted the man, who then turned violent and attacked the stall owner, causing his glasses to fall off.
Police arrived at the scene and found multiple individuals involved in the scuffle. Upon their arrival, the man resisted arrest and assaulted an officer, shoving him and knocking his glasses off. The man also verbally abused another officer. When questioned by reporters, the affected employees described the man as usually well-mannered and a regular customer at the coffee shop.
The coffee shop was left in a state of disarray, with broken dishes and tables scattered around. Medical personnel attended to several injured staff members, and the man was eventually arrested for using criminal force against a public servant and causing hurt to them. The two injured women were transported to Changi General Hospital for treatment. The police are currently investigating the incident further.
