4 men flee after slashing 3 victims at Tampines CC
Three men were attacked by four others near Tampines West Community Club this morning (Mar 22) at 6.20am, who then fled the scene and left behind a bloody knife and a 200 metre-long trail of blood.
According to a report in Shin Min Daily, the incident occurred at a fast food restaurant near the community club at Avenue 3, Street 81.
A 64-year-old retiree said he saw around 10 men in their 20s outside the restaurant at 5am. An hour later, he saw three men lying in a pool of blood when cycling past Block 828.
Two of them had blood on their upper bodies and both hands, while the third man, who was bleeding from his head and arms, suffered more serious injuries.
Two men -- a 24-year-old and a 22-year-old -- were sent to Changi General Hospital for emergency treatment.
An employee at a supermarket nearby said he saw four men running past him quickly at around 6.30am. They were tall, thin and looked to be in their 20s.
"They looked like they were being chased. I even asked my friend why they were running so quickly. Only when I saw the blood left behind at the scene later then did I know that something had happened," he said.
A 14-inch-long knife with a rope tied around it was left behind at the scene.
In response to a query by STOMP, Police said:
"Police received a call today at about 6.24am requesting for assistance at Tampines West Community Centre.
"Upon Police arrival, two men were found injured at the said location.
"They were conveyed to Changi General Hospital.
