Hong Kong’s karaoke parlours are establishments where revelry, bad singing, and general drunken shenanigans can happen behind closed doors into the wee hours of the morning.
But it seems like certain parties just can’t be contained when two groups of karaoke-goers, having just closed their tabs, clashed in an inebriated brawl at 6am yesterday at the Neway karaoke parlour in Kwun Tong’s Millenium City mall.
The fight, involving fourteen people aged between 19 and 53, apparently erupted after a member of one party accidentally bumped into another.
(Maybe they were feeling extra aggressive after singing “Everybody was kung fu fighting”?)
Apple Daily footage shows blood splattered in the entrance of the karaoke parlour, and – gasp – an entire box of Calbee crisps spilled.
The box of crisp packets was reportedly thrown during the fight.
The police arrived on the scene to break up the fight, but one karaoke-goer was undeterred by their presence, and even actually hit one of the officers.
A 45-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man were arrested on the charge of assaulting a police officer, while the remaining nine were arrested for fighting in a public place.
