Earlier, videos emerging on Twitter showed the youth in the adjoining Muslim communities with clubs and cutlasses.

In one of the videos, gunshots are heard while the youth are seen in other videos slashing each other with machetes.

It is unclear what may have started the confusion between the youth, but according to some Twitter posts, the fight was over a shisha.
