Later on that day, when they were speaking to a reporter from the Chinese daily, people of the surrounding area reported that they heard shouting downstairs. Officers of the law arrived not long afterward as well.
One local neighbour, who asked not to be identified, stated that they heard police sirens at around four in the morning, in addition to hearing some quick footsteps.
Shin Min was informed by the manager of the coffee shop, Zhang, that she had hurried to the location as soon as she heard about the incident, however, by the time she arrived, the perpetrators of the attack had already fled.

According to Zhang, there were four people—three males and one woman—seating at one of the tables in the coffee shop. All of them were believed to be in their 20s. After some time had passed, the three men got up to go smoke, while the woman remained seated at the table.
After a few moments, two of the males left the group to use the loo. The first person to emerge was a stocky guy wearing a white T-shirt, and he was viciously mauled.
The attack was carried out by a total of six males, according to CCTV footage obtained from surveillance cameras.
A friend of the victim who witnessed the assault made a desperate attempt to flee by hiding in the lavatory. However, their attackers tracked him down and pursued him until they caught up with him in a nearby pavilion. In addition to that, he was cut.
Zhang stated that he went back to the coffee shop at a later time to fetch some water to wash his wounds. “He sat on a chair when he came out of the toilet, but later on he ended up sitting on the floor,” she recounted. “He sat on a chair when he came out of the toilet.”
Shin Min was informed by Pan, an assistant working at the kway chap stand within the coffee shop, that Pan was eating at the time of the incident. He was a witness to the fat man being cut and related that he was so shocked that he was unable to move from his seat during the event.
He further stated that the six suspects ran away from the scene of the attack in a hurry.
