S'pore teen, 15, presses knife to boy's neck in bullying video, 5 teens arrested for rioting

A disturbing video of a boy in Singapore being held at knife-point has been circulating on the internet.

A boy in a black shirt stood in front of a boarded-up area in what appeared to be a forested location.

The exact location is not known.

Two other boys were caught on camera walking over, and another boy behind the camera could be heard saying not to pull out the knife.

The boy with the earring, however, took out a switchblade and pressed it against the victim's neck.

The victim was seen being made to carry out humiliating acts.

Arrested

Responding to queries from Mothership, the police confirmed that reports were lodged in relation to this incident that occurred on Jul. 6, 2025.

Five male teenagers, aged between 12 and 15, were arrested on Jul. 10, 2025, for their suspected involvement in a case of rioting.

Two of them, aged 13 and 15, were charged in court on Jul. 16, 2025, with the offence of voluntarily causing hurt with common intention.

The 15-year-old male teenager is separately charged with carrying an offensive weapon in a public place.

Police investigations are ongoing for the remaining three teenagers.

In response to Mothership's queries, the Ministry of Education (MOE) is aware of a video of an assault circulating on social media.

"Such behaviour is not acceptable and has no place in our society," said an MOE spokesperson.

"The perpetrators involved are under police investigations.

The school has been providing support to the affected student and his family."
