A disagreement that turned into a street brawl in Thailand has caught attention online.

On March 5, according to multiple reports, a conflict between transgender Thai and Filipina women is where the issue began.  A Thai woman was allegedly jumped by around 20 individuals and robbed in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok, with some reports saying that a total of four Thai women were involved.

Following this incident, more than 100 Thai individuals, many of whom were transgender or other members of the LGBT community, gathered outside of the hotel where the Filipina women were staying. Police arrived at the scene to investigate, resulting in a perimeter being formed to escort the Filipina women for questioning.

Despite the police’s demands for peace, the moment the alleged assaulters were in reach, the crowd began throwing things. Soon after, several individuals broke through the perimeter and attacked, leading to an all-out brawl in the streets.

Videos from the brawl show pure chaos as officers unsuccessfully tried to control the crowd.

The fight did not end there, as a crowd followed the suspects to the police station, where they were eventually asked to leave. According to local police, those involved in the initial incident were taken into custody, though the number of individuals arrested or injured is unknown.
