In front of a well-known hotel on Baoshan Street in Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City, at around 1 a.m. today, a dispute occurred between drunken men fighting each other and shouting loudly. The Taoyuan Police Station was notified of the incident and activated the strike force and dispatched 25 police officers to deal with it. The police said that upon arrival, the police immediately formed a human wall to separate the two sides. Considering that the number of people watching and supporting the situation was increasing, reaching dozens of people, the police fired four rounds in the air to stabilize the order on the scene and brought back the troublemakers to clarify the case and investigate the case according to law.

At 1:17 a.m. this morning, the Taoyuan Police Station Service Command Center received a report that people gathered in front of a well-known hotel on Baoshan Street and a dispute broke out. The police immediately activated the strike force and rushed to the scene. After the police arrived, they formed a human wall to stop and separate the two parties that broke out in the conflict.

The police said that the 20-year-old men surnamed Huang and Wu, who were suspected of triggering the dispute, continued to shout loudly because they were drunk. Considering the large number of onlookers around to help, in order to avoid escalating the conflict, the police fired four rounds in the air to suppress and take away the troublemakers such as Huang Man and Wu Man. They then used small area blockade control to stop the troublemaking behavior, and then dispersed the surrounding onlookers.

Huang Nan and Wu Nan, who were suspected of causing trouble, have been charged by the police on suspicion of gathering a crowd to fight and other crimes. The police said that they will review the on-site monitors and related images to trace the identities of the people involved and relevant illegal evidence, and clarify whether gang organizations are involved, and strictly investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law.
