SINGAPORE – A 20-year-old man was arrested in Commonwealth Avenue on the evening of Feb 3, after the police were alerted to a man holding a chopper there.

Seven people, including a six-year-old girl, were injured, with a knife and chopper seized by the police.

The police said they received a call about a man holding a chopper at 301 Commonwealth Avenue at about 7.05pm.

Police officers found the man detained by members of the public when they arrived at the scene.

Two men, aged 76 and 40, and a six-year-old girl sustained minor injuries. They were conscious when taken to the National University Hospital.

Another three men, aged 54, 21 and 20, and a 45-year-old woman sustained minor injuries, but declined further medical assistance.

Chinese-language news outlet Lianhe Zaobao reported that there were police officers at the Queens Peak condominium near Queenstown MRT station.

Zaobao also reported that a group of eight people were seen, in visuals provided by a reader, on the ground floor of the condominium, throwing things in a particular direction.

According to the condo’s residents, there was a pursuit along Margaret Drive, with Zaobao’s reporter finding blood stains and police officers at a block there, which is about 1km from the condo.

Police investigations are ongoing.

The butcher shop in my area looking for an apprentice.

Get paid to slash away.

Butchers have the least stress and the best driving safety record.

Maybe all day slicing and diving and imagining MIL?

But what else could we do? Wring our hands and worry and lock them up at home?

Making a joke is also one way of coping with shocking news but it doesn't distract from reminding our loved ones to be aware of their surroundings instead of being glued to their phones all the time.

It's random. They could be aware, but the guy could just attack them for wearing the wrong colour shirt, not giving way, look too young/too old/ too whatever. Anyway, I don't have an answer also. 

[Blueray]

mental issue or druggie ?

[Benarsenal]

It does seem quite random. Thankfully nobody got seriously injured or killed.
