He bled out onto his clothes and the ground, added the 39-year-old. Medics helped bandage the wounds before he was sent to hospital. In response to Shin Min’s queries, the police said an 88-year-old man was sent to hospital while conscious. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that person was sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The injured party is understood to have suffered cuts on his cheek, nose and hands, which he sustained while trying to defend himself. 80-year-old suspect assisting investigations As for the suspect, it’s understood that he went home after committing the alleged slashing, while people were focused on helping the injured man. After the incident, it was observed that two or three police officers went to the suspect’s flat to investigate. At about 7.30pm, they escorted out a man with white hair who was expressionless.

Bloody handprints left at lift landing Besides the blood left at the alleged crime scene, bloodstains were also reportedly found at a nearby lift landing. After the police cordoned off the lift landing, bloody handprints were seen inside the lift, as well as on the walls outside.

Duo were kopitiam regulars who got into an argument Mr Xie (transliterated from Mandarin), an assistant at a kopitiam nearby, told Shin Min that the suspect and the alleged victim were regulars at his kopitiam. They would come to eat and drink coffee almost every day and would never cause trouble. However, the two got into an argument recently. Apparently, the injured man had spread some gossip that was overheard by the suspect’s wife, who then told him about it. Unhappy about this, the suspect confronted the 88-year-old on Wednesday (15 Mar), allegedly warning that he would slash him. The other man replied that he wasn’t afraid of him. A couple of days later, the bloody incident took place. MS News wishes the injured uncle a speedy recovery from his injuries. https://mustsharenews.com/elderly-man-slashed-amk/ 1 Official Mugentech Minecraft server: Please see thread in Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
