A 28-YEAR-OLD man was left blood-drenched at Orchard Plaza on Sunday morning after a slashing incident.
The Straits Times understands that the man was Yeo Zhen Jie who had slash marks on his neck.
A 23-year-old man was arrested for “voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means” in relation to the case, police said.
Graphic photos of the incident, which occurred on the fourth floor of Orchard Plaza outside Tha Siam Thai Kitchen and STARZ Singapore, were uploaded on Facebook page Best Viral Videos just past midnight yesterday. The photos have been shared widely, reaching more than 5,000 shares by noon yesterday.
In one of the photos, the victim clad in a T-shirt and jeans lies on the ground with a pool of blood around his legs. Another man wearing gloves is seen attending to his neck area with a stack of tissues at the side.

In another photo, the injured man is on a stretcher while being attended to by at least three paramedics.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said an ambulance was despatched at around 5.50am on Sunday.
The man was taken semi-conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
The management of Orchard Plaza declined to comment on the incident.
STARZ Singapore said in a Facebook post that the incident was not “linked to our club at all”.
Ms Ang, owner of Flower Flowers, a florist on the fourth floor, said fights are common at night at the location.
She has been operating at Orchard Plaza for about nine years.
“I heard that they (the fights) are usually over girls.
“Most of them are young people, and some would start coming in from about 8pm,” she added.
