Man hospitalised after Lavender incident

Among occupants of the building are an interior design company’s showroom, a building materials supplier and an audio studio. It also houses a food street on the ground floor, which consists of some clubs and cafes.

When ST arrived at the scene at about 11am, at least six police officers were seen at the food street, where a police cordon had been set up.

A woman appeared to be receiving medical treatment while seated along the street.

The police officers appeared to be investigating an establishment called Hong Thong, whose sign said it is managed by Thai food company Kin Mak Mak.

At around 12pm, a police crime-scene photographer was seen taking photos of what appeared to be the serrated blade of a small saw.

An officer also took a photo of an injury sustained by a man believed to be a club worker, who had a gash on his right elbow.

According to staff at a cafe about 50m away, customers heard screaming at around 9.30am and one called the police for help.

Operators of a coffee shop within the building said they were told by security between 9.30am and 10am that there was a fight at the food street.
