The Police have arrested two men, aged 24 and 26, for their suspected involvement in a case of voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons.

On 29 August 2025 at about 6.40am, the Police received a call for assistance in the vicinity of Sims Avenue. Preliminary investigations revealed that the two men purportedly got into a dispute with a 51-year-old man, and allegedly attacked him with a chopper. The 51-year-old man sustained injuries and was conveyed conscious to the hospital.

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from CCTVs and Police cameras, officers from Bedok Police Division and Police Operations Command Centre established the identities of the duo and arrested them within five hours of the report.

The duo will be charged in court on 30 August 2025 with the offence of voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons with common intention under Section 326 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of life imprisonment, for a term which may extend to 15 years, and shall also be liable to a fine or to caning.

The Police will spare no effort to track down those who commit such brazen acts of violence and will take firm action against them in accordance with the law. The Police would also like to remind that it is also an offence to carry an offensive and/or scheduled weapon in a public place otherwise than for a lawful purpose. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to five years and at least six strokes of the cane.
