The_King Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 SINGAPORE – Five people who were at Orchard Central on New Year’s Day were rushed to hospital with knife wounds after an incident on the 11th floor of the mall at around 4am. A spokesman for the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told The Straits Times on Jan 2 that the SCDF received a call for assistance at 181 Orchard Road at about 4.10am on Jan 1, and took five people to Singapore General Hospital. The address is that of Orchard Central. The Straits Times visited the 11th floor of Orchard Central on Jan 2 at about 2.30pm and saw blood stains at various places along a 200m stretch. The units on the 11th floor are occupied by a dance club, steakhouse and restaurant. Outside the Ark 11 dance club, which was closed, there were several stains of what appeared to be blood droplets. There was also a smear of blood on the wall of a nearby toilet. The Ark 11 dance club on the 11th floor of Orchard Central was closed.

He said he learned that cleaners at the shopping mall had already cleaned most of the stains, adding he did not know what had happened on Jan 1 as it was his day off.

The woman, who did not want to be identified, said she found out about this from her colleagues when she came to work at about 10.30am on Jan 1. She said she did not see any police officers in the area at the time. Most of the blood stains have already been cleaned.

The assailant was known to the victims, and police said preliminary investigations showed they had not been on friendly terms. There were about 150 knife-related crimes annually from 2017 to 2021. These crimes involved murder, robbery, rioting and serious hurt, with about 36 per cent of them occurring in residential areas and 3 per cent on educational premises. The remaining cases occurred in other public and commercial places. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
