A meeting between two Ngee Ann polytechnic students allegedly ended up with one injured, and a police report lodged. 

The incident occurred on Monday at about 11am in the school canteen.

According to a Shin Min report, the fight involved more than 20 students, and three students suffered slight injuries.

However, in an email, a spokesperson from Ngee Ann Polytechnic said there was no large-scale fight on campus. "There was no gathering of over 20 students... And only one student was hurt, and not three as reported," said the spokesperson.

B, the injured student, spoke to Shin Min reporters earlier and said the fight was unprovoked. He did not wish to be identified.

He said he was sitting in the canteen doing his work when he felt someone staring at him.

He turned around to find a male student that he did not recognise, glaring at him. The student then went up to B and told him to meet him at the nearest toilet "to talk".

"I told him I didn't even know him, and we could just talk in the canteen", said B, speaking to Shin Min's reporters.

But the student then told him to meet back at the canteen in 10 minutes.

Perplexed, B pulled together three other friends and decided to meet the student in the canteen to get to the bottom of the matter.

However, they were taken aback when they got to the canteen to find the student who had approached B, together with the other students.

Sensing trouble, B went forward and repeated again that he did not know him, and asked "why the need to fight?". B had barely completed his sentence, before a punch thrown by the student landed on the side of his head.

Said B: "I immediately felt giddy and my friends came up to help me pin him to the ground. But just as another friend came forward to help, he slipped and accidentally kicked the head of the student who was on the floor. That was when the guy's friends rushed up to us and tried to separate us, and the three of us got injured as a result."
