Chan Choi-chuen and his neighbour Chan Yue-sze initially cooperated in running a porridge stall, but they split up for some argument. Choi-chuen started a new business with his uncle Chan Chiu-wan, opening a stall in the market between Blocks 18 and 19 of Lo Fu Ngam (Lok Fu Recreation Ground today). At 1 pm on March 21, 1970, when Chiu-wan's wife was worshipping God at the porridge stall, Yue Sze’s 17-year-old son Yuk-wah played ball nearby. The ball knocked over her altar, and he was immediately scolded. Choi-chuen was so angry and threw several punches at him, and then two guys started fighting each other. Yuk-wah lived on the 4th floor of Block 18. His father heard the sound downstairs and came down to save his son. He attempted to argue with Choi-chuen, but the latter went to pick up a saw and a hammer from a neighbouring stall. The father and his son tried to run away, but they saw knives in a fruit stand and immediately used them to fight back. Having seen his nephew in critical condition, Chiu Wan also joined the battle, but Choi-chuen was still lost and was stabbed three times. He was seriously injured and had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
