In response to TODAY’s queries on Monday (Nov 27), the police said that they were alerted to a call for assistance at 1 Tampines Walk last Saturday at about 9.55pm.

The woman is assisting with a case of voluntarily causing hurt and intentional harassment, they added.

No injuries were reported.

A clip of the incident was posted by Instagram account “sgfollowsall”, showing a woman, clad in a white T-shirt and hat, shouting several expletives at the two men.

The men were standing near a railing to watch a live English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Liverpool that was streaming on the venue’s big screen at the ground level, the post stated.
