Family defended son and confronted hawker
The video of the incident's aftermath shows a woman, who appears to be the customer's mother, confronting the hawker about hitting her son.
Behind her, a girl can be seen tending to the male customer's face as he stands there silently.
The woman can be heard screaming at the hawker in Hokkien: "Why you beat my child? Why??"
She continues: "You start the fight first, means you're in the wrong, don't talk so much."
Meanwhile, the man filming the situation remarks off-camera in Hokkien: "Clearly it was the [young] man who started the fight first."
Another man wearing black adds: "You whack his head! He will bleed from his head!"
The man filming reiterates: "It was clearly the son who started it, this kind of father and mother also have."
The altercation then ends with the woman asking for the hawker to call his manager, and claiming that she would be calling the police.
A video that has been taken down from social media allegedly shows the customer picking up the ladle the hawker used, and throwing it at the hawker during the confrontation involving his family. The man in black then allegedly turned around and asked him to stop.
Mothership understands from a person who knows the hawker that the police allegedly went down to the coffee shop, and the customer was sent to the hospital for a "check-up".
The hawker was also allegedly brought in to the police station for further investigation.
