SINGAPORE: Three men ended up in hospital after an apparent brawl at Sun Plaza in Sembawang.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it received a call for ambulance assistance just before 6pm.

The three men were then taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Police said investigations are still ongoing.

An eyewitness, Nur Indra Abdul Karina, told Channel NewsAsia that one of the men involved in the incident was "covered in blood".

The witness said he felt something was amiss when he saw a huge crowd gathering just outside the mall.

He said: "I saw... one body lying down there, facing me, panting. Seems to me like he is already half-dead. Then another Indian guy, with a handkerchief on top of his head, also injured. The Chinese guy seemed to be panting, like it was hard to breathe. I can see he is trying to say something like 'help help'."

While waiting in line at a news-stand at Sun Plaza in Sembawang on Tuesday afternoon, three men bumped into another man.

Angry words were exchanged. The men then hurled threats and vulgarities at one another. This lasted a few minutes before the three men moved away.

Later, the man spotted the group at the back of Sun Plaza. A witness said he chased the trio while brandishing an 18cm-long vegetable knife and yelling: “Say some more and I’ll chop you to pieces!”

A police spokesman said they received a call at 5.52pm on Tuesday. A 39-year-old man was arrested for voluntarily causing hurt with dangerous means.

Three men were taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital with head injuries and slash wounds.
