A debt fight between a former couple in Taichung ended with both of them in hospital and both facing charges, a bad outcome for everyone involved.

• A woman went to her ex-boyfriend's rented apartment in Taichung's Xitun District to collect NT$100,000 he owed her.
• The argument turned into a fistfight, leaving the man with two cuts on his head and the woman unable to walk because of back pain.
• She brought a friend along, and police are pulling building security footage to see whether that friend joined in the beating.
• Both sides have filed complaints against each other, so the case goes to prosecutors on assault, coercion, and domestic violence charges.

Outlook: The security camera footage will decide whether the woman's friend is charged too.
