It was stated that the two men already knew each other, but they had a falling out over a social media post two years ago. This prompted them to challenge one another that ended up with a fight.

When the report was raised to the authorities, the police immediately responded, and the two men were taken to the hospital. When reporters arrived at the scene, it was discovered that the police had blocked off the area for further investigation.
