Five Detained After Family Dispute Leads to Scuffle at Taichung Airport

According to CNA reporter Zhao Li-yue, five individuals were involved in a physical altercation at the international departure hall of Taichung International Airport on the morning of the 31st due to a family dispute. The Taichung branch of the Aviation Police Bureau stated today that they responded to the scene and, following an investigation, referred the individuals to the prosecutor's office on charges of public assembly violence. A man and his female friend were preparing to depart for Hong Kong when the man's wife arrived with her sister and friends, leading to a brawl in the airport lobby. Police warned that under the law, gathering three or more people to commit violence or intimidation—even just shouting or cheering from the sidelines—constitutes 'aiding and abetting,' punishable by up to one year in prison, detention, or a fine of up to NT$100,000.
