Resident Stomper-at-large Nikki Yap aka Yap yAp yaP was live tweeting a cultural event in the CBD when something unexpected happened! It all starts out fairly routine...

Then out of nowhere, the action picks up, and Stomper Yap is covering it live.

Eh what's this. Some kind of commotion starting. #randomactsofviolence

It appears, both from the Stomper and from subsequent netizen reports, that a police officer from Certis was performing a less-than-routine white collar takedown when things suddenly get out of hand!

Wah, this police woman going to arrest Mr. Gaudy. So atas!

---

Aiyoh, Mr. Gaudy has some friends. A fight breaks out!

---

So shiok. You're under arrest! Bang bang! An image has been removed for privacy issues. Find out why.

OMG. That guy punched out the police officer and ran off with Mr. Gaudy! Now everyone has to evacuate because someone heard gunshots. Sorry, my lovelies, have to sign off now~!

Stomper Yap wasn't able to follow up on this thread, and her images and videos were quickly censored, allegedly for privacy concerns. Even so, official channels all but confirm what went down:

Due to an unforeseen emergency involving an unruly patron, all guests at the Apple Fullerton Hotel should proceed to the riverside open air dining area.

^{7:15PM (SGT), 7-May, Marina Bay}

The Marina Bay area is closed due to an ongoing incident at the Apple Fullerton Hotel. Armed Certis officials have cordoned off the area. Citizens please kindly remain indoors or proceed to designated shelter areas in an orderly fashion. If you see anything out of the ordinary, report it using your #SGSecure app. #PSA

Enterprising netizens were quick to dissect what happened. Many point to a later APB for a rather conspicuously dressed man that some Stompers identify as Nicholas Zhao:

Police are searching for a person of interest: male, Chinese descent, dressed in a vintage suit and zebra patterned tie, last scene in CBD. If you have any information, please contact us using your #SGSecure app.

Others netizens connect the incident to several investigations ongoing at the time.

Aiyoh, I saw that lawyer before. Hanging out in Geylang. Someone say he is part of HSMBC's anti-money-laundering team. Why he here leh? Feel like I see a ghost.

Weh, that Zhao guy. Does he do academic coaching? Very expensive. But he promises to get kids into Yale and Harvard. See is too good to be true lor.
