The Singapore police have arrested a 46-year-old man for his suspected involvement in the attempted murder of a 41-year-old woman, believed to be his wife.

The police released a statement on April 14, after shocking images and videos circulated among social media of what appeared to be a bloody, vicious attack at a hotpot restaurant along Beach Road.

At least one video showed a man in a black t-shirt and pants attacking a woman with a chopper before several other people tried to chase him away.

Wielding improvised "weapons" like stepladders and dustbins, they drive off the attacker, at least momentarily.

The police acknowledged that several members of the public intervened to help the woman and prevent the suspect from causing further harm to her.
