  "account": "On November 7, a chaotic brawl erupted outside a coffee shop in Singapore's Chinatown, as captured on video and shared widely on social media. Three men engaged in a fight below an HDB block, with two men wielding plastic chairs and stools as weapons. The third man struggled to grab a stool but was dragged to the ground. Amidst the chaos, a man in a patterned shirt was seen shouting and using vulgarities, while a woman attempted to intervene but was pushed aside. Despite efforts by a motorist and others to break up the fight, it continued. The police responded to the scene around 12:20 AM on Saturday, finding a 37-year-old man who appeared to be intoxicated. During the arrest, he threatened the officers, leading to charges of affray, drunkenness in a public place, and abusive language against a public servant. He was taken to the hospital for medical checks. A 68-year-old man was also arrested for affray. Police efforts to locate the third individual involved are still ongoing. The Singapore Civil Defence Force reported receiving a call for assistance at approximately 12:25 AM and assessed one person for minor injuries, though they declined hospitalization. Investigations into the incident are still in process.",
