Teen arrested after scuffle with Amos Yee at Suntec Singapore anime fest

Police investigations are ongoing.

Home-grown anime convention Doujima, also known as Doujin Market, is being held at the convention centre’s halls 403 to 405 from May 9 to 10.

In videos circulating online on May 9, a person dressed in cosplay as Jujutsu Kaisen protagonist Yuji Itadori, is seen punching, kicking and stomping on a man as passers-by look on.

The person then briefly walks off before returning and leaping onto the man, bringing him to the ground. He then proceeds to elbow the man, who is curled up on the ground, before being taken to the side by another person.

The man on the ground is seen holding onto his head before he stands up and walks off.

In a post on X by Yee at 2.26pm, he is seen with injuries on his bottom lip and finger. The accompanying text reads: “Just been attacked in the anime convention. Look at the bloodied up lip.”

On May 8, the Doujima event organisers had said on Instagram that “a known problematic influencer” would be banned from the event, following reports from the public.

“We’ve cancelled his ticket and are working to ban him from all our shows. We take the safety of everyone at our convention very seriously,” reads the post.
