POLICE arrested a 17-year-old yesterday in connection with a slashing incident outside a fast-food outlet in Ang Mo Kio on Thursday - the latest to involve teenagers carrying knives in public. The two youths, who knew each other, got into a dispute at Block 448, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 at about 7pm. One whipped out a knife and slashed the other on his right arm in front of shocked patrons at the fast-food restaurant. The victim is also 17.

The slashing came after a 19-year-old student was hacked to death last month in Downtown East in a gang-related attack, and a separate incident earlier this month where seven people were attacked by a group armed with parangs in Bukit Panjang. More recently, two teenagers were charged in court on Monday with possession of choppers at the Costa Sands Resort in Pasir Ris. The spate of incidents has raised concern among parents, lawyers and policymakers over whether there is a need to regulate the sale of knives.

The police have sounded the warnings.

Six people involved in the Bukit Panjang clash have been processed under the tough Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act.

But yesterday, there was yet another youth slashing incident. This time at Block 448, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10.

Two youths got into a loud dispute and, after a shoving match, one of them whipped out a knife and slashed another, a 17-year-old, on his right arm.

Witnesses said the victim was slashed near the right shoulder. Blood covered his long-sleeve shirt as he struggled to get away from his attacker.

The victim left a blood trail of about 300m long, stretching from outside the fast-food restaurant, across Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 to Block 445.
