Drama on the Train

Witnessed some drama on the MRT today. It was between a young guy (let's call him "Mr A") and an uncle who looked like in his 50s (let's call him "Uncle B").

Didn't exactly see the incident that triggered the confrontation, but according to Uncle B, he said that Mr A pushed him as he lost his balance and stumble towards Mr A as the train started to move. The two of them started arguing. Then Mr A, trying to break out of the arguement, went to take a seat and told Uncle B to go away. But Uncle B wouldn't stop there, he went on complaining to the rest of the passenger in the cabin.

In the heat of the moment, he pushed Mr A's head against the train window and there was a loud bang (ouch... must have hurt). Of course Mr A wouldn't take that lying down, he got up and aim a kick at Uncle B and missed though. By this time, the rest of the passengers who were nearby, tried to siam from the area where the 2 men were at. A scuffle almost broke out and Uncle B started taking out his belt to wield as a weapon.

Some passenger tried to pacify Uncle B as he started to turn violence. Luckily, Mr A backed down and did not continue to argue with Uncle B (else a fight would be unavoidable). By this time the train had come to a stop at a station and Uncle B alighted, though still complaining as he walked out of the train.

All this happened just a few steps away from me.
