A 61-year old Singaporean man has been arrested by the police for attempted murder after he stabbed a National Parks Board (NParks) officer at Sengkang East Drive and subsequently fled the scene on bicycle.
The man was discovered cutting plants illegally at the park connector while the NParks officers were installing SafeEntry signs along Sungei Serangoon Park Connector. The man was also not wearing a mask, in violation of control orders under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act.
The man turned aggressive during the engagement and attacked the NParks officer with a sharp instrument, said the police in a statement on Monday (May 4). The man then fled the scene on his bicycle before the police arrived. His identity was established and he was arrested within 1.5 hours of the incident.
The victim sustained serious injuries to his chest, arm, and hand and was conscious when conveyed to Changi General Hospital.
