Yesterday (21st May) evening, the police were alerted to a fight that broke out in a HDB unit located at Block 362 Hougang Ave 5, where an Indian couple and their three sons were staying. A visitor was also believed to be present during the incident.
The youngest of the three brothers, a 29-year-old food delivery rider was drinking at home when he got increasingly agitated and started shouting and swinging a knife around.
The second eldest of the three brothers, a 31-year-old delivery man tried to stop his younger brother but ended up getting deep cuts on his chin and right arm which required stitches.
According to the family’s neighbour, he saw two of the brothers and a third man (believed to be the visitor) taken away in an ambulance. He added that another one of the brothers (believed to be the eldest 33-year-old) was taken away in a police car in handcuffs.
The 29-year-old was subsequently arrested after receiving treatment at the hospital.
The police are currently investigating the incident.
