SINGAPORE — A fish soup stall owner used a wooden pole to attack a rival hawker who sold a similar dish at the same food centre, causing fractures to the victim's skull and right wrist as well bleeding in his brain.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Louis Ngia said that Peck saw the younger man as his rival and the pair had earlier disagreements. About 10 minutes later, as Wee was preparing to open his stall for business, Peck approached him from behind and used a wooden pole around 70cm long, which had a protruding nail, to repeatedly strike his head.

"Eventually, the victim and his wife managed to disarm the accused. After a scuffle, the accused ran away."
