A 17-year-old female teen was arrested after she allegedly slashed an 18-year-old female teen with a knife at Block 573 Woodlands Drive 16 during the early hours of Apr. 29.

Shin Min Daily News reported that it understands that the two teens had apparently engaged in an argument prior to the incident.

The alleged assailant was arrested at the scene by police officers.

Police reportedly searched for knife
