On Oct. 5, an Australian couple and their two children visited the shops and arcade parlors at the market’s New Shilin Market building, police said.
The children were playing a “scooping fish” game at one of the shops when an argument started.
Cheng and other employees told police that the family did not understand the rules of the game, and the father demanded a prize.
When he was refused, the man allegedly became angry and used an obscene hand gesture, police said. [FULL STORY]
