Kaohsiung temple parking lot brawl: 15 arrested
A late-night "peace talk" outside a temple in Kaohsiung turned into a group beating, and police have now rounded up everyone involved — bad news for the 15 suspects, reassuring for locals worried about street violence.
- A video of men chasing someone with clubs in the parking lot of Dongzhao Mountain Guandi Temple in Kaohsiung's Dashu District spread on Threads.
- The fight started after an early-morning argument between an 18-year-old man and two others; they agreed to meet that night to settle it.
- The 18-year-old showed up expecting an apology and brought his girlfriend and friends, but the two sides came to blows and several people beat him with sticks and fists.
- He was hurt but not seriously; the attackers drove off, and police used nearby security cameras to trace the cars back to them.
- All 15 suspects were caught the next day under warrants from prosecutors and face charges of assault and disturbing public order.
Outlook: The case now moves to prosecutors, who will decide charges for the 15 arrested.
