Preliminary investigations showed that two of those involved in the incident knew each other and had gotten into an argument.
The ensuing fight led to a total of five people suffering knife wounds.
Reporters from The Straits Times (ST) went to check out the scene and noticed blood stains along a stretch on the 11th floor.
There were also what appeared to be blood droplets outside Ark 11, a nightclub.
Incident comes after slashing incident 2 weeks ago
Responding to queries by ST, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that they received a call for assistance at 181 Orchard Road at about 4.10am on 1 Jan.
The address corresponds with that of Orchard Central.
Upon their arrival, the authorities transported five people to SGH.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only incident of its nature to have occurred in recent weeks.
About two weeks ago, four people suffered injuries at a slashing incident in Pasir Ris West Plaza on 20 Dec.
Police arrested a 61-year-old man at the scene and later charged him with attempted murder.
