A 48-year-old man was arrested after allegedly attacking 4 strangers with a knife (among other weapons).

He is believed to have been under the influence of drugs at the time.

The victims; 2 men and 2 women, were asleep inside their HDB flat at 2 Jalan Bukit Merah Road when the attack happened.

What happened?

Earlier today (6 June), at about 6.06am, the police responded to a case of assault at the abovementioned residential unit.

The police officers who were patrolling the area were approached by a 59-year-old woman with blood-stained hands on the ground floor.

They then proceeded to the HDB block’s 2nd floor.

The alleged perpetrator was a 48-year-old Singaporean Chinese man who allegedly entered the flat while the residents were sleeping.

He then attacked the female tenants of the unit with a knife, before 2 of the male tenants came to their aid and tried to subdue the man.

Another 31-year-old male tenant who was woken up by the commotion in another room, escaped from the unit to seek help from patrol officers.

Weapons used in the attack; a knife, a chopper and 2 pen knives; along with substances suspected to be drugs, were seized at the scene.

The police said that the man is believed to have acted alone and that preliminary investigations suggests that this isn’t an act of terror.

The man has been traced for several drug offences since 1991 and was last released from prison on 6 October 2020.

Investigations are currently ongoing.

The owner of a shop in Yishun shared on his Facebook a few days ago about a theft that occurred in his shop, urging the thief to own up and return the money that he took.

The shop owner, Jeya Seelan, appealed to the thief and told him that he doesn’t wish to make a police report to ruin his future.

The thief then returned to the shop yesterday (5 June) with the money that he stole and returned it to the owner.

Jeya shared that the perpetrator, accompanied by his friend, visited his shop to return the money.

He was described as being in “some level of discomfort and cried while apologising profusely, as his friend tried to calm him down.

Jeya said that the guy’s apology was accepted and that he saw that the guy was repentant in his eyes.

The man’s friend transferred the stolen $800 to Jeya, and the initial Facebook post about the theft was subsequently taken down.

He (Jeya) considers the matter closed.

Jeya also encouraged those who are going through a tough time and need groceries for free to reach out to him, and he promised he won’t probe.

He said: “It’s okay to ask for help, it really is. We are all in this together.”

A schoolgirl took to Instagram to share an unsavoury incident that she witnessed on the MRT.

She wrote that she was in the train yesterday (5 June) at around 1.50pm, when she noticed a guy touching his private parts multiple times.

He then walked down the cabins to look for more females and “touched” himself while staring at them.

She shared that he stared at two ladies and pleasured himself until the two noticed him and felt uncomfortable.

The incident purportedly happened on the North-South Line heading towards Jurong East.
