An altercation broke out between two elderly men at Jurong East MRT station, apparently after a pushing incident, prompting a younger man to step in and mediate the situation.
Videos of the altercation were posted on the Complaint Singapore Unrestricted Facebook group by an anonymous user on Aug 17.
According to the caption, the incident occurred “a few weeks ago” and that both men alighted at Bukit Batok MRT station.
The first video starts with the man in a black polo shirt telling a woman that her husband — dressed in yellow — had pushed him. The husband retaliates by accusing the man in black of pulling his shirt. The pair shout at each other as the younger man stands in between, trying to stop the argument.
The man in black then utters an expletive at the woman while the man in yellow recounts the incident to a person who is out of frame, possibly a station staff member. He calls it “vulgar harassment” and tells the man in black that he has no right to use vulgarities. The man in black, who had threatened to call the police, then says the man in yellow had no right to push him.

As they try to get up close to each other, the mediator, who is dressed in black office wear, puts himself in between them. Meanwhile, a female voice can be heard telling them to stand clear for alighting passengers as the train approaches.
The arguing pair, the woman, and the mediator — who continues to stand between the two men — eventually get on the train.
Argument simmers down in the MRT cabin
In the second video, filmed inside the MRT cabin, the man in yellow suggests they end the dispute there and then, regardless of who was right or wrong. He tells the man in black that the younger man was trying to mediate and that there was no point in threatening him.
