And police officers were spotted at the scene conducting investigations.
Upon their arrival, SPF officers managed to arrest two men, aged 24 and 42, at the scene. The rest of the suspects had fled the scene before the police arrived.
It was added that a knife was seized as a case exhibit.
After further investigations and looking through the CCTV cameras, police officers were able to identify five other men aged between 20 and 27 years old.
They were subsequently arrested within two hours from the time of the report.
