The Police have arrested two men aged 19 and 20 for their suspected involvement in a case of affray.
On 13 August 2023 at about 6.15am, the Police were alerted to a case of fight where a victim was purportedly slashed on his head along Read Crescent Park. The victim sustained a deep laceration on his forehead and was conscious when conveyed to the hospital.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim had an altercation with three unknown male persons. During their dispute, a fight ensued between them where one of the assailants allegedly used a knife to attack the victim. After the fight, the three assailants fled. A knife believed to be used to attack the victim was recovered and seized as case exhibit.
Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from Police cameras, officers from Central Police Division established the identities of the two men and arrested them on the same day after the incident was reported.
The two men will be charged in court on 15 August 2023 with an offence of affray under Section 267B of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to one year, or fine of up to $5,000, or both.
The Police are looking for another man shown in the image below to assist with investigations. Anyone with information is requested to call the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/i-witness. All information received will be kept strictly confidential.
The Police have zero tolerance towards acts of violence and blatant disregard of the law. We would spare no effort to apprehend such offenders and deal with them in accordance with the law.
