Teen arrested over alleged assault on Amos Yee at Suntec City

The pair then back away from each other, before the teen rushed at Yee, tackling him to the ground from behind.

The altercation ended after a bystander intervened.

Responding to CNA queries, Doujin Market organisers, Neo Tokyo Project, confirmed Yee had been banned from the event and refused entry after reports of his intention to attend made its visitors feel unsafe.

They said that the fight was not at the convention, but elsewhere within Suntec City.

“We do not condone acts of violence at all and think it’s unfortunate that such an altercation happened,” a spokesperson added.

“Our focus remains on ensuring the safety of our convention visitors and exhibitors, now and in the near future.”

In an earlier Instagram post, organisers said they had been alerted to Yee’s plans to show up to the event.

“We’ve received lots of reports from the community that a known problematic influencer intends to attend the show. He will not. 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 … We have a no-tolerance policy for a reason. We’re enforcing it now.”

Described as Singapore’s premier pop culture creators convention, Doujin Market runs from Saturday to Sunday at Suntec.
