An overturned chair lies near the brawling pair.Two other men later attempt to break up the fight, while the man in red has the other in a chokehold.In the video uploaded on Stomp’s Facebook page, the Stomp reader who filmed the scene is quoted as saying that he felt that the incident had occurred because the men involved “had too much to drink”.A 48-year-old man was taken conscious to the hospital and is assisting with ongoing investigations, said the police.The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it took a person to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.ST has reached out to FairPrice Group, which owns Kopitiam, for more information.Source: The Straits Times © SPH Media Limited.
