“As I was in a hurry for dinner and had no desire to get involved in an altercation, I walked away from the scene.”

Anonymous noted that CCTV cameras in the area would have captured the incident, adding: “While it may seem like an accident, I sustained an injury on my finger.”

The Stomper also shared his Dec 7 medical report from the National University Hospital, confirming a right-hand injury.

Asked if he has made a police report, Anonymous told Stomp that he is still thinking about it.
