His friend, private school student Abel Lim Kay Hern, also 17, was slashed on the head in the attack on March 5. One of the seven attackers pleaded guilty on Monday to rioting with a deadly weapon with the common intention of hurting the two victims.

Community Court Judge Soh Tze Bian ordered a pre-sentence and probation report on Muhammad Rozaidi Abdullah, a student of the MacPherson Institute of Technical Education (ITE). His accomplices have been charged and will be dealt with separately. The victims were walking to church for prayer services at 8pm with four friends, aged between 15 and 23. Along Pasir Ris Drive 3, they were accused of staring at the other group, who started shouting vulgarities.

When someone in Mr Lee's group made a rude hand gesture, a fight broke out. One of Muhammad Rozaidi's friends was armed with a knife and starting slashing while the rest punched and kicked the two victims. The friends managed to escape. The amputation of Mr Lee's right ring finger measured 5cm and the court heard that the severed part was not recovered. Mr Lim suffered a 5cm-long slash on his scalp.

SINGAPORE: A teenager has pleaded guilty to rioting that left one of the victims with a severed finger and another with a fractured skull.

17-year-old Muhammad Rozaidi Abdullah, who was waiting to be enrolled into MacPherson ITE, had committed the offence with six alleged accomplices.

One of them is a 15-year-old boy.

He has been dealt with in the Juvenile Court and ordered to be detained at the Singapore Boys' Home.

The others, who are between 16 and 17 years old will be dealt with separately.

The court heard that Muhammad Rozaidi and the other members of his group were walking along Pasir Ris Drive 3 on 5 March 2010 when they came across a group of six on the opposite side of the road.

The two victims, Lee Dao Hong and Abel Lim Kay Hern, both 17, were part of that group.

Muhammad Rozaidi and his friends accused the other group of staring at them.

Dao Hong made a rude gesture at them and a scuffle broke out.

It's believed one member of Muhammad Rozaidi's group, identified as 16-year-old Muhammad Farhan Roslan had with him a knife with a 32-centimetre-long blade.

He allegedly took out the weapon and passed it to one of his friends.

17-year-old Mohammad Farihin Hassan is believed to have used the weapon to slash Dao Hong's hands.

After that, he allegedly used the knife to slash Abel's head.

It's believed Mohammad Farihin also used its handle to knock him on the back of his head.

Abel then fell backwards onto the ground.

Muhammad Rozaidi's group fled the scene shortly after this and went their separate ways.

District Judge Soh Tze Bian has called for a pre-sentence Reformative Training Centre report.

Muhammad Rozaidi will appear again in court on July 19.
