After telling his family that he was going out to buy drinks, a man went to meet his girlfriend’s former boyfriend to resolve their differences.

The meeting on Wednesday evening landed the 20-year-old in hospital with serious injuries after he was attacked by a group of men.

His older brother, 24, told Shin Min Daily News that his family later found out he had agreed to meet his girlfriend’s ex-lover at a void deck.

To his horror, the victim, who was not named, realised the meeting was an ambush when four to five men set upon him, the brother said.

The family was shocked to see the victim bleeding profusely from multiple slash wounds when he returned 15 minutes after stepping out.

SURGERY

The father told Lianhe Wanbao his son was slashed on the forehead and suffered a deep cut on his left arm that exposed the wrist bone, for which surgery was required.

The police told The New Paper yesterday they were alerted to a case of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon at Block 106 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh at about 6pm on Wednesday.

A 20-year-old man was taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, they added.
