A 26-year-old man was arrested in connection with a case of voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon.

The man was seen with tattoos on his face and neck.

He was subsequently taken away in a police vehicle.

A second-floor resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, told Shin Min that she saw multiple police vehicles arrive in the evening, but did not hear any commotion in the block.

She claimed that the man lived with his family and that she had not previously heard any quarrels.

Stepfather of man speaks to media

When Shin Min visited the man’s unit, his stepfather said he only found out that the police had arrested his stepson after returning home from work.

He refused to disclose further information.

In response to queries from Mothership, police officers conducted follow-up investigations into a case of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon at Block 508 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 and arrested the man.
