The Police have arrested a 39-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman for their suspected involvement in a case of voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon.
On 3 October 2021 at about 5.30pm, the Police were alerted to a case where a male victim was slashed by a knife along Yishun Avenue 6. The victim suffered several lacerations and was conscious when conveyed to hospital. The persons involved had fled the scene prior to Police’s arrival.
Through ground enquiries and with the aid of Police cameras, officers from Woodlands Police Division established the identities of the two persons involved and arrested them within four hours of the reported crime. A knife was recovered and seized as case exhibit. Preliminary investigations revealed that all parties involved were known to each other.
The 39-year-old man will be charged in court on 5 October 2021 with voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon under Section 324 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224. The offence carries an imprisonment term which may extend to seven years, or a fine, or caning, or any combination of such punishments.
