Chilli sauce sparks off 17-man brawl
SINGAPORE - A woman in her 20s has been accused of starting a
17-man brawl after flinging chilli at a stall-owner.
The incident took place at a food
outlet beside Boon Lay MRT station on Feb 6, the fourth
day of Chinese New Year, at approximately 10.30pm.
Chinese newspaper Lianhe Wanbao reported that the woman had
taken some chilli from a food stall after ordering a dish
from another nearby stall.
The stall-owner, who was having dinner nearby, then asked
her why she did not ask for permission to take the chilli.
This enraged the woman, who flung the chilli at the
stall-owner while shouting that the stall-owner could have the
chilli back.
A quarrel ensued between the woman and the stall-owner, which
quickly spread as the stall-owner's companions entered the quarrel,
together with the woman's boyfriend.
Flung chairs
The quarrel degenerated into a fight after the stall-owner
allegedly pushed the woman's head with her hands.
The woman's boyfriend then retaliated, causing four other men to
beat him. One man used a chair as a weapon. The boyfriend's nose
was injured and bled profusely.
Seeing that her boyfriend was being beaten, the woman then
poured a bowl of hot soup over the stall-owner's head.
11 men shouting
At this point of time, 11 men appeared and started shouting
aggressively. Witnesses alleged that they were summoned by the
woman for a gang-fight.
The woman's boyfriend was sent to the hospital for
treatment.
Impolite to take other stall's chilli
When interviewed by Lianhe Wanbao, the
38-year-old stall-owner complained that the woman had
taken chilli from his stall while ordering food from
another stall.
He also said that all he wanted to do was remind the woman that
it was only polite to ask for permission and did not expect it to
degenerate into a fight.
He requested that the woman and her boyfriend apologise to
him.
