Another man, believed to be Yu's friend, can be seen using his phone to take a video of the police.

Meanwhile, someone filming the entire incident can be heard telling Yu's friend: "I tell you ah, I am recording this. You are not respecting Singapore's laws, I will definitely upload this."

According to Zaobao, Yu's friend had also accompanied the accused to court.
