2 arrested, 4 others taken to hospital after alleged brawl in Orchard Road

Through follow-up investigations, two men, aged 25 and 27, were arrested for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means. The 27-year-old man was later taken conscious to the same hospital.

The police also seized a knife.

The attack allegedly happened outside Concorde Hotel Singapore.

When The Straits Times arrived at the scene at about 9.20am, there were no signs of the police or SCDF officers. Traffic around the junction was running smoothly.

Two shop owners who spoke to ST said they were not aware that an incident had happened and that they were not informed by security. They opened their shops – a money changer and a mini-mart – in Orchard Plaza, which is near the junction, as usual at 9am.

Physical crimes, like violent ones involving knives, have been on the rise here, with 75 knife-related incidents reported in the first half of 2025 – an increase from 59 in the same period the year before.

Police investigations are ongoing.
