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.
According to 8World News, 2 men had an intense argument at 525 Serangoon Road in the wee hours of Thursday (8 Oct).
The altercation soon escalated and one of the men attacked the other with a knife.
The victim, a 33-year-old man suffered injuries to his left arm and was later brought to Singapore General Hospital for medical treatment.
Police arrived at the scene at 1.30am
At around 1.30am, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) was notified of a case of “voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon” and promptly headed to the scene.
In another image, 3 ominous blue SPF tents were seen erected along the roadside surrounded by officers.
Naturally, some speculated that someone had been murdered.
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.
On Friday (9 Oct), the SPF released a statement on the incident and are now appealing to the public for information on the case.
The police is also looking for the man pictured below to assist in their investigations.
According to 8World News, the suspect is Chinese and is about 1.7 metres tall.
If you have any information regarding the case, do call the police hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit information online on i-witness. All information will remain strictly confidential.
Whatever the case, we should always refrain from violence as a means of solving our differences.
We hope the police investigations will soon be able to bring the perpetrator to justice for his actions.
