Speaking during a press briefing, the spokesperson said the police received a call that a fight had broken out outside a shop in Rua de Chiu Chau in Taipa, at around 11 p.m. on Monday.
The spokesperson said the victim, a 37-year-old taxi driver, told police that while he was waiting for a passenger beside his taxi, the suspect approached him and asked him to shake hands.
