Two security vehicles belonging to the Alpha Response (AR) security company were destroyed and two members of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) maritime element detained after a video of an altercation in front of the Tin Sui Tan shop at 4mile in Port Moresby, went viral on social media sparking an all-out brawl. According to Military Police Personnel on the ground, they have yet to determine what sparked the brawl and are looking into the incident to ascertain details. In the video, it can be seen that it was not only the members of the AR personnel that attacked the defence force men, but also the crowd of public onlookers that surrounded them. The two sailors that were attacked in the video were taken to Murray Barracks and will undergo questioning. It was also confirmed that both personnel are attached to HMSPNG Basilisk naval base in Port Moresby. The brawl had occurred when both men were taken back to the barracks and members of their unit, upon getting word that they were attacked, retaliated out of frustration and attacked the AR personnel leading to the total damage of both company vehicles.
