The Police have arrested two men, aged 26 and 28, for their suspected involvement in a case of voluntarily causing hurt with dangerous weapon.
On 14 January 2022 at about 10.30am, the Police were alerted to an alleged stabbing incident at Blk 413 Commonwealth Avenue West. The victim was walking towards a multi-storey carpark when two men approached him. One of the two men, who was allegedly armed with a knife, purportedly attacked the victim from behind. Both men fled the scene thereafter. The victim sustained a slash wound on his left arm and a stab wound on his back, and was conscious when conveyed to the hospital. Preliminary investigations revealed that this is believed to be a planned attack. Police investigations are ongoing.
Through extensive ground enquiries and with the aid of images from Police and CCTV cameras, officers from Clementi Police Division established the identity of the men and arrested them on the same day, within nine hours of the incident.
The men will be charged in court on 15 January 2022 with voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon with common intention, under Section 324 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to seven years, or fine, or caning, or any combination of such punishments.
Commander of Clementi Police Division, Assistant Commissioner of Police Marc E, commended the officers for their hard work in responding to, locating and arresting the men: “The swift arrest was possible with the help of Police cameras. The Police will spare no effort to track down those who commit such brazen acts and will take firm action against them in accordance with the law.”
