WHEN anger flares and mere words are insufficient, fists fly, and in extreme cases, weapons are wielded.
It is troubling enough when it's a one-on-one fight, but according to a recent viral post, a 20-person brawl erupted somewhere in Muar.
The incident was said to have been captured on a dashcam. It shows a group of men engaged in an altercation, and the car, which was recording, backing up hurriedly.
Is the video genuine?
Verdict:
TRUE
