Anyone’s 1st reaction upon seeing a large pool of blood would think something bad had happened.
Yesterday (3 Sep), residents of a HDB block spotted a large pool of blood at the void deck and stairs, feeling something amiss.
Although it turns out that nobody was attacked, the truth is a little stranger.
Apparently, a man had cut his own leg while allegedly drunk, and then walked home.
A resident of Block 511 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 was alarmed — there was a bloody trail, with the imprints of bare feet visible.
The trail even went to the floor he stays in, according to Instagram page SgFollowsAll.
There was also a grisly scene at the void deck.
While it’s not apparent in that picture, there’s a pair of flip-flops lying amidst the bloody scene.
This might explain the bloody footprints.
What appears closest to the truth is this at the moment.
According to Lianhe Zaobao, the man had, after consuming alcohol, allegedly injured himself. There are allegations that the injuries were self-inflicted, although we cannot confirm this.
After this, he walked home. He apparently lives at Block 508, which is nearby.
A neighbour told Lianhe Zaobao that the man had returned home at around 9.30pm, apparently sober.

Later, the police and SCDF came to the door and brought him to the hospital for treatment. Apparently, concerned friends had called them up.
The man didn’t appear seriously injured, although the level of blood shed is indeed alarming.
Police told Lianhe Zaobao that a 56-year-old man was sent to hospital in a sober state, and that investigations are ongoing.
We’re definitely very puzzled by this incident, but nobody was seriously harmed.
That said, we hope the man gets the help he needs, since his behaviour does not appear logically consistent.
