At about 11 o'clock last night, three people, including a Burmese overseas Chinese man named Lei, were eating at a restaurant on Xingnan Road, Zhonghe District, New Taipei City. They accosted a Vietnamese woman named Ruan at the next table. Four of Ruan's friends were dissatisfied and choked. A big fight broke out between the two parties. The Zhonghe Police Station was informed and dispatched officers. Ruan and other five people had already escaped. They later assisted Lei Nan to send him to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, his life was not in danger. After consultation, he was transferred to investigation.

An investigation by the Zhonghe Police Station revealed that one of the parties involved in the fight was 39-year-old Lei Nan, 31-year-old Peng Nan, and 40-year-old Shen Nan, all overseas Chinese from Myanmar, while the other party was a 25-year-old Ruan woman and four men. The incident started because Lei Nan accused Ruan Nu of "looking like a friend's ex-girlfriend" after drinking. The four men thought his words were frivolous and were dissatisfied and choked. As a result, the two sides broke out into a fight. People passing by reported the incident.

The police pointed out that 15 police officers were dispatched to the scene. Only Lei Nan's side was present, while Ruan Nu's side had left. Due to contusions on Lei Nan's right finger and right wrist, an ambulance was subsequently notified to send him to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.

The police said that a special task force has been set up to investigate. They will review surrounding surveillance cameras and arrest Ruan Nu and others to clarify the case. After the entire case was investigated, Lei Nan and three other people were transferred to the New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of gathering a crowd to fight.
