A video shot inside a moving MRT train showing a fight between two men with stunned and standing onlookers has gone viral on Facebook. Singapore police confirmed on Sunday, April 8 that they received a report on the incident and they are now investigating the incident.
The video was circulated on Facebook by Mediacorp Radio Ria 89.7FM deejay Dzar Ismail. It initially showed that two men were squaring up in the middle of the train cabin and they started to argue, which later converted into a fight.
The edited video showed that many passengers just moved away from their seats, as those two men became aggressive and started to throw punches and kicks towards each other.

As of now, the video has received more than 7,500 views and 324,000 shares, including 830 comments.
Earlier, a sudden fight took place in Hougang coffee shop on March 31 between a man and a woman. The three-minute video of the incident, posted online by Facebook user Andy Tang, showed a woman in shorts and white t-shirt was shouting in Mandarin, 'come on, hit me' while pointing her finger to a man's head, who was wearing a three-quarter trouser and a black t-shirt.
