SAN FRANCISCO, California, December 16, 2009 (WSFB-AC) – Responding to an anonymous 911 call that a large number of individuals using martial arts such as kung fu were engaged in violent activity, local law enforcement representatives successfully broke up a large fight at a local Chinatown drinking establishment Saturday night.

The altercation, which occurred at Egg Shen’s Black Blood Cafe on Grant St., lasted approximately ten minutes. Injuries were reportedly minimal, although a significant amount of property damage was incurred.  William Chin and Samuel Chung, both residents of Chinatown, are being held for questioning in connection with the fracas.

According to eyewitness accounts, Chin and Chung entered the bar separately, each leading a group of noticeably unbathed men of Asian descent.  Shortly after the second of the groups arrived, Chin and Chung began kung fu fighting.

“At first I hardly realized they were fighting at all,” said Natalia Douglass, a frequent Black Blood patron who was enjoying a cocktail at the bar when the fight broke out. “They bowed and then just started swinging with their hands and kicking from their hips. Their movements were so lightning quick that at first we thought it was a show or act or something.”  But when the rest of the gang joined in the fray moments later, Douglass realized this was no show. “All of a sudden it was like everyone in the entire room was kung fu fighting.”

“It was,” Douglass added, “a little bit frightening, honestly.”

Another witness, who wished to remain anonymous, noted that the fighters stuck out in the crowd due to their unusually poor hygiene. “Those men smelled awful,” said one bystander. “I mean, Chinatown, like many congested urban areas, is known for its occasionally overwhelming aroma.  But those Chinamen were seriously funky.”

Once authorities were able to subdue Chin and Chung, the crowd dispersed.  Both suspects are currently being held awaiting arraignment.  According to a statement issued on Chin’s behalf by attorney Eddie Lee reports of the entire event have been overblown. “Despite appearances to the contrary, the sudden motions may have made lookers on’s (hearts) skip, but their expert timing practically guaranteed that none of those present were in any real danger.”  He instead alleges that the entire problem was caused by a local underworld figure known only as “The Big Boss.”
