SINGAPORE: Three youths aged 18 to 19 have each been charged with one count of rioting.

Adam Abdul Rashid and Muhammad Ikram Kamsani, both 18, and Wira Andika Ibrahim, 19, are accused of being part of an unlawful assembly with two others.

The five of them were said to have punched and kicked 22-year-old Desmond Ang Ming Seng on Sunday at about 5am outside Zouk discotheque at Jiak Kim Street.

The case of the trio will be mentioned again on April 8.

Earlier in the day, police said they had arrested seven men aged between 17 and 19 for two cases of rioting along Jiak Kim Street and Kim Seng Road on Sunday.

On March 30 at about 3.56am, police responded to a report of a fight along Jiak Kim Street.

The victim was reportedly set upon by a group of suspects, who fled after punching and kicking him.

While officers from the Central Police Division were investigating the fight, another brawl was reported along Kim Seng Road at about 4.57am.

Another victim was attacked by a group of suspects who fled before the police arrived.

Suspecting that the assailants could be the same for both the cases, the officers conducted extensive enquiries and looked into all the available CCTVs in the vicinity to establish the identities of the suspects.

The officers arrested the suspects at various locations on the same day.

Police said the two other suspects will be charged on Wednesday.

The maximum penalty for rioting is a jail term of seven years and caning. - CNA/nd/ec
