A third person, a 42-year-old man, was assessed for minor injuries but declined to be sent to the hospital.
Woman arrested for causing hurt with a weapon
Additionally, a 37-year-old woman was arrested for her suspected involvement in a case of voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon, SPF said.
A chopper was seized as a case exhibit.
It is understood that the suspect and victims are not known to one another, reported 8world.
A witness who declined to be named said two of the injured men were employees of the food stall, while the suspect was not a customer of the stall and had never patronised it before.
They described the incident as akin to “a madman stabbing people with a knife”.
