Couple brawl over bill
A couple had to be taken to a police station in Jinjiang after they started arguing and fighting on the street over a restaurant bill, the Southeast Express reports. The man, 25, had promised he would pay for a meal, but then went back on his word, saying the food was not good and he did not want to foot the bill for a friend of his girlfriend who had joined them. The girlfriend was angry and embarrassed by her boyfriend’s behaviour over a 400 yuan (HK$500) meal. Passers-by called the police and the pair were taken away.
