Man slashes couple in Yishun brawl

Police at the scene of the fight.
Three people, a couple and a married man got into a fight at a coffeeshop in Yishun last night, resulting in a couple being slashed badly.
Eyewitnesses say the trio were drinking at the coffeeshop when they started raising their voices and began fighting. The fighting turned into a chase, with the trio ending up at a back alley at Blk 156 Yishun St 11 about 100 metres away.
A 35cm long knife was introduced during the brawl and the married man began slashing the couple. The slashing spattered blood all over the alley.
Heedless of his own safety, a young man intervened to snatch the man's knife, while the couple, though badly injured and covered in blood, managed to subdue the man.
It is believed that the three are involved in some kind of relationship, and matters escalated into a brawl after negotiations failed.
