On Thursday evening, a man in his 30s (above) walked into the compound of HighPoint Community Services Association at Lorong 23 Geylang.

He was followed by three youths not long after.

A security guard at the community service compound later saw the man crawling out from behind the building to the open-air carpark, leaving a long trail of blood.

The man had suffered multiple slash wounds on his head and body.

Separately, a brawl broke out at a coffee shop at the junction of Guillemard Road and Lorong 12 Geylang on Friday morning.

The fight involved two groups of men - nine on one side and five on the other.

One man is in hospital with slash wounds. Nine others are on the run from the police.

Read the full report in The New Paper on Saturday (May 11).

4 men arrested for Geylang slashing

SINGAPORE - Four men have been arrested for allegedly slashing one man in Geylang last Thursday.


The May 9 incident which occurred at Geylang Lorong 23 had left the victim, in his 30s, injured but conscious.

Police said in a statement that the injured man is in stable condition.

A 42-year-old male suspect was first arrested on May 12 along Lorong 9 in Geylang. The suspect had attempted to flee, police said, but was quickly subdued.

The other 3 suspects, aged 21 to 34, were arrested in a residential unit at Champions Way. The suspects were uncooperative and had barricaded themselves inside the unit.

Police then made a forced entry into the unit and arrested the men. Two weapons were also found.

Police believe that the slashing incident was sparked by a dispute between the subjects involved.

The suspects will be produced in court on May 14 for causing grievous hurt with a dangerous weapon. If found guilty, they could face life imprisonment, or 15 years in jail. They can also be fined or caned.

"He was bleeding from his head and body, it looked like he had been stabbed, and his head was covered in blood, it was very scary.
It's lucky he's alive," a witness said.
