The man is believed to have slashed three women with a paper cutter at Block 225, Bukit Batok Central, before he was arrested.

Huzairie said there were two women, who looked to be in their 20s, who were bleeding. One of the women had a cut on her left arm, and the other had a cut on the right leg. STOMPer Steven's mother was the third woman who was slashed

The women were not severely injured and were not taken to the hospital.
