The police are looking for a 32-year-old man for his alleged involvement in a knife incident along Boon Lay Drive on Saturday (Dec 6).\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police said they received several calls for assistance at about 6.55pm on Dec 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Upon arrival, officers found a 58-year-old man injured at the void deck of the block,” the police added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man was conscious when he was conveyed to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital by the Singapore Civil Defence Force.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following investigations, a 32-year-old man who is believed to be involved in the case, has been identified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A female resident told Chinese media outlet Shin Min Daily News that she was drinking and singing karaoke with a group of neighbours when the incident happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The group noticed the man staring at them but did not pay attention to the matter as they did not know him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shin Min reported the female resident as saying that the man later returned and started questioning her neighbours while holding on to two knives in his left hand and a chopper in his right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to calm him down but the man suddenly attacked one of her neighbours, the 58-year-old man, with a knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was stabbed in his back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The injured man immediately picked up a plastic chair to defend himself but ended up being slashed on his left forearm and forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Shin Min, the suspect later fled towards Block 238 Boon Lay Drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two knives and a chopper were seized at the scene, the police said, adding that efforts to trace the 32-year-old are ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
