Just a month after reports surfaced of Edison Chen clashing with a flight attendant, the Hong Kong actor has once again found himself in another heated exchange at an airport in Shanghai.
A netizen who witnessed the scene claimed that the 44-year-old got into an argument with a fellow traveller who had allegedly shoved him from behind.
The altercation occurred near the security checkpoint around 7am on July 21.
“Ran into one of my favourite stars from my younger days, and it was during an awkward moment. He was pushed by a person behind him, and they got into an argument. Even the police had to get involved,” the netizen wrote on Xiaohongshu.
Accompanying the post was a video clip showing Chen looking visibly upset, with his hands tucked in his pockets.
The Infernal Affairs star stood next to a woman who could be seen speaking with authorities.
“In situations like this, all you can do is watch from afar. Celebrities are also ordinary people who deserve their space. I hope the issue gets resolved quickly,” the netizen added.
For the record, Chen had reportedly threatened to get a flight attendant fired while on a flight between Tokyo and New York on June 1, after a disagreement over disembarkation procedures.
According to his management, the Canadian-born actor was in the midst of retrieving his luggage when a passenger behind him began to move forward.
When Chen politely asked to finish collecting his belongings first, a flight attendant intervened and said the other passenger could disembark first, citing his top-tier Diamond status.
Chen, who reportedly held the same status, was left confused by the exchange, which ultimately led to the altercation.
