The Police have arrested a 57-year-old man on 21 December 2025 for his suspected involvement in a case of voluntarily causing grievous hurt.

On 21 December 2025 at about 9.20pm, the Police received calls for assistance at a food court at Block 768 Woodlands Avenue 6.  Upon the Police's arrival, a 73-year-old man was found unconscious at the location and was conveyed to the hospital, where he subsequently passed away. Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim had purportedly gotten into a dispute with the 57-year-old man, which escalated into a scuffle.

The 57-year-old man will be charged in court on 23 December with the offence of voluntarily causing grievous hurt under Section 325 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence of voluntarily causing grievous hurt  carries an imprisonment term which may extend to 10 years, and a fine or caning. 

The Police have zero tolerance towards such acts of violence and will take firm action against those who blatantly disregard the law.
