A Busker In London Gets Randomly Punched In The Gut By A Stranger

A Singaporean busker Bryan Wong was in the middle of a performance in London’s Covent Garden on Jul 23 when a stranger punched him in the stomach.

Wong is a performer who uses props like a cyr wheel, a human-sized hoop for acrobatic feats, and other circus-related equipment.

A video uploaded to his TikTok account @brylights shows him speaking with a man in a hoodie before the man suddenly landed a blow on Wong’s midsection with his left fist. Wong responded by grabbing the man’s arm, then letting go as the man pulled away.

Wong turned and told the audience: "Everybody, I'm very sorry. I'm going to end the show. I can't continue like this."

Although the altercation was over swiftly before any of the bystanders responded to the situation, Wong wrote: “The audience was really supportive of me though so that was really nice.”

He added: “Missing Singapore but I’m learning a lot here.”
