Despite Singapore’s reputation as a safe country, our nation has seen her fair share of fights and violent assaults of late

On Thursday (8 Oct), a 33-year-old was attacked by a knife-wielding man along Serangoon Road.

The victim sustained arm injuries and was transported to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) for treatment.

The police is now appealing to the public for information on the case and a suspect whom they’ve identified.

8World News, however, clarified that the tents were set up to prevent evidence on the ground from being tainted as it was raining at that time.
