Instead of walking away, the situation escalated further.

One of the stall owners warned the man that he would call the police, but the man challenged him to do so.

He then stormed over and flipped the hawker’s entire wok in front of stunned customers.

The outburst shocked those at the scene, with many unsure of how to react.
