Woman stabbed in Yishun

<!-- by line --> By Lim Wei Chean

A WOMAN in her mid-20s was stabbed outside an ITE on Yishun Avenue 9 on Tuesday morning. The woman, who sustained injuries on her upper body, was in jogging gear when she was taken away by paramedics to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Police said they received a call about the stabbing incident at about 11.30 am on Tuesday. Police, including Gurkha guards, are searching the Yishun vicinity for the assailant. There is an open field in front of the Yishun ITE.

C shaped wound on her face and injuries to upper body (BREASTS?), 2 important areas that define a woman's beauty or assets.

Could it be a revenge attack by a spurned lover OR a hired assailant by a jealous ex GF who lost her BF to her?

CLOSE to nine months after two women were slashed four days apart in Yishun, the mystery attacker remains at large. On Tuesday, police released an updated and clearer photofit of the suspect, appealing for information on the wanted man. In February, a photofit of the suspect, put together by both victims, was also released to the public. Then, the photo showed a man with longer hair and smaller eyes.

In the new photo, the suspect sports a short crop and strong features. The Straits Times understands that this picture was put together by only one victim - a 23-year-old female jogger. The healthcare worker was attacked on Feb 2 while jogging at the Khatib Bongsu park connector in Yishun Avenue 9, opposite ITE Yishun. Four days before her, another was stabbed at Block 172, Yishun Avenue 7.
