A 19-year-old diner was shocked when an elderly man allegedly started flinging food at him at a hawker centre in Sengkang.
The incident reportedly occurred at Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre on Thursday (Oct 22) at around 7.30pm.
In an Instagram post on Oct 23, user bymyside_twin wrote that he was eating by himself when the elderly man wearing a polo shirt sat down at his table without asking.
He told Stomp that the elderly man "roughly pushed my tray towards me" and stared at him for two minutes.
"Then he started throwing food at me with his chopsticks," the diner recalled.
A video accompanying the post shows the elderly man getting up from the seat opposite the diner after being asked "What do you want?"
"What do you want from me? What did I do?" the diner then questioned.
He then continued to ask the man who he was, and the latter can be heard indistinctly saying that it was the "second time" something had occurred, pointing at the phone with two fingers.
"No, you tell me, what do you want? You come here, you throw food at me," questioned the diner as he stood up to face the man before the man sat back down.
He also panned to show the scraps of food near his bag on the chair he was sitting on.
"Did I do anything to you? If you want to find trouble, you go find somewhere else, alright?" said the diner to the man who had raised his hand towards the camera.
'You don't come at me'
The diner then appeared to instinctively bring his hand up in defence and the man can be seen pressing against his hand.
When the diner pushed the man's hand back in response, the elderly man can be seen stumbling backwards.
"You don't come at me," the diner said, as the man regained his balance and walked towards him again, nodding his head slightly.
The man pointed at the diner's camera again, saying, "Stop pointing that camera at me, ah," before apparently slapping the phone away as the clip ends.
The diner reportedly said that the confrontation continued for another 10 minutes after the video ended and he eventually moved to another table when no bystanders were willing to step forward and help him.
He added that he has made a police report about the incident and has never seen the man before.
'He did the same thing to me'
The video has amassed over 520,000 views on Instagram, with more than 7,000 likes and over 700 comments. The video also has also been shared over 5,800 times and reposted more than 300 times.
Netizens criticised the elderly man's "entitled" behaviour, with one comment highlighting that seniors should be setting a better example for the younger generation and be more empathetic.
"Everyone also going through something in life, not only [the] elderly," wrote the comment.
Some netizens joked that the man's aggression reminded them of famous Chinese martial artist Ip Man and Bruce Lee.
Others also claimed that they recognised the elderly man.
"He did the same thing to me," commented one user, explaining that he was eating at Koufu food court in Sengkang General Hospital then.

一名19岁的食客在盛港一家小贩中心用餐时，被一名老年男子突然向他扔食物吓了一跳。
据报道，该事件发生在星期四（10 月 22 日）晚上 7 点 30 分左右，地点位于安谷村小贩中心。
10 月 23 日，用户 bymyside_twin 在 Instagram 上发帖称，他当时正在独自用餐，这时一位身穿 Polo 衫的老人未经允许就坐在了他的桌子旁。
他告诉 Stomp，那位老人“粗暴地把我的托盘推向我”，并盯着他看了两分钟。
“然后他就开始用筷子朝我扔食物，”这位食客回忆道。
帖子附带的视频显示，当被问及“你想要什么？”时，这位老人从餐厅对面的座位上站了起来。
“你想从我这里得到什么？我做错了什么？”食客问道。
然后他继续问那名男子是谁，可以听到那名男子含糊不清地说这是“第二次”发生类似的事情，并用两根手指着手机。
“不，你告诉我，你想要什么？你来这里，朝我扔食物，”食客站起来质问那人，然后那人又坐了下来。
他还摇摄镜头，展示了他所坐椅子上包附近的食物残渣。
“我做错什么了吗？如果你想找麻烦，就去别的地方找麻烦，好吗？” 餐厅的顾客对那个举手指向镜头的男人说道。
你别来惹我
随后，食客似乎本能地举起手进行自卫，可以看到那名男子正按压他的手。
当食客推开老人的手时，可以看到老人踉跄后退。
“你别来惹我，”食客说道，那人重新站稳后，又朝他走来，微微点了点头。
该男子再次指着餐馆的摄像头说：“别再用摄像头对着我了，啊，”然后似乎把手机拍开了，视频就此结束。
据报道，这位用餐者表示，视频结束后，冲突又持续了 10 分钟，由于没有旁观者愿意上前帮助他，他最终换到了另一张桌子。
他还补充说，他已就此事向警方报案，并且以前从未见过这名男子。
“他对我也做了同样的事。”
该视频在Instagram上已获得超过52万次观看，7000多个赞和700多条评论。此外，该视频还被分享了5800多次，转发了300多次。
网友批评这位老人的“优越感”，其中一条评论指出，老年人应该为年轻一代树立更好的榜样，更有同理心。
“每个人在生活中都会经历一些事情，不仅仅是老年人，”评论写道。
一些网友开玩笑说，这名男子的攻击性让他们想起了中国著名武术家叶问和李小龙。
其他人也声称认出了这位老人。
“他也对我做了同样的事，”一位用户评论道，并解释说当时他正在盛港综合医院的口福美食广场用餐。
