When he realized that there was in fact no fight and only funk, Singh broke out some killer moves of his own. “I saw eight people gathered around one person, so I can see how a member of the public thought it was a fight,” Singh told CBC News Canada. “But when I got closer I could see he was break dancing in the middle and there was someone filming it.” Feb 9, 2017
