A fight over an alleged debt amounting to NT$20,000 left one woman with serious burns to her face and neck, after another used boiling soup as a weapon against her on Friday morning at a karaoke lounge in Taiwan.
As the woman in grey manages to break loose, she picks up a pot of visibly steaming soup off a portable stove and pours its contents over the other woman. The aggressor then flings the empty vessel at the victim’s head, causing the latter to scream in distress as the woman in grey takes the opportunity to land more blows.
Another woman and two men were arrested for aggravating harm and the obstruction of freedom and later released on bail. The amount set for the woman surnamed Chen, 28, was highest among the three suspects at NT$300,000. Investigations are ongoing. Both women were working in the “Big Eight” services industry, according to local media, referring to “special service” professions in Taiwan that include jobs at bars, dance clubs and saunas among other entertainment venues.
