Kallang attack spree: Slash and grab
Construction worker Sandeep Singh, 23,
was slashed twice on his head, once on his
lower back and several times on his left forearm and hand.
The last three fingers of his left hand were so
badly cut that they were left dangling.
Mr Singh needed an eight-hour operation
at Tan Tock Seng Hospital to re-attach the finger
and stitch up his other wounds.
He was walking from Geylang Lorong 17 back
to his flat at Block 44, Sims Drive,
close to midnight on Saturday when
he saw five or six men near a playground.
As they approached him, he realised
that four of them had "long knives", most likely parangs.
Before he could do anything, they set upon him.
"No words were spoken by the men.
Then the knives came at me, first at my head and left ear
, then my back and then my left forearm,"
Mr Singh said in a mixture of Punjabi and English.
"I was slashed three to four times on my
left forearm and the last three fingers
of my left hand were left dangling.
"I had no chance to shout or even plead for my life.
After the slashing, I fell to the ground."
A deep slash on Mr Singh's left ear.
Besides Mr Singh, the group is believed
to have attacked three other men,
one of whom was killed.
After taking his mobile phone, $100 in cash,
his work permit and a cheque for
$1,000 from his employer, the attackers fled.
"I was bleeding on my face and head and
my vision was blurred. I was lying on the ground
until around midnight when a man saw me and called the police.
"The next thing I knew,
I was in hospital and going for the operation," said Mr Singh.
He occasionally groaned in pain during our interview at his hospital bed yesterday, with his cousin, Mr Gurpreet Singh, 23, and elder brother, Mr Paviterdeep Singh, 25, helping to translate.
MORE than 100 officers from units such as the land divisions, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the Special Operations Command were roped in to aid in catching the crew dubbed the Kallang Slashers.
A gang of seven went on a bloody and violent night-long robbery spree on Sunday, which left one victim dead and three wounded.
Yesterday, the CID said it arrested three of the seven suspects - a motley crew of cleaners and odd-job labourers holding valid work permits who stayed in a lodging house in Syed Alwi Road in Little India.

Two were nabbed within the vicinity of the lodging house, while the third was caught shortly after. By 11pm on Monday, the trio were in police custody.
