According to an earlier report by citizen journalism website Stomp, a group of 6 Korean men were attacked outside a Bras Basah nightspot, Club Password, on Friday after one of them got a hug from a female singer who was performing there. The hug allegedly angered a local group of men at another table.
A victim's friend who was interviewed by Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News said that the local men started flipping tables, and a shoving match between the two groups ensued.
The Korean men were then said to have left the club, but were reportedly followed by the local group with metal poles and beer mugs taken from the club, according to Stomp.
Shin Min reported that the fight landed three of them in the hospital with injuries including a split lip, torn ear and even a fractured skull.
In a Stomp report today, staff of the Bras Basah club said that the Korean men were 'causing trouble and behaving rowdily' before the incident occurred.
Shin Min reported that CCTV footage showed the men engaging in a 30-minute ruckus inside the club, injuring other clubbers and security staff who tried to stop them.
