61-Year-Old Arrested For Attempted Murder, Stabbed An NParks Officer

While most of us stay home during the ‘Circuit Breaker’, some are out and about making sure everyone is adhering to safe distancing measures. Unfortunately, one of them was attacked today.

A 61-year-old was arrested on Monday (4 May) after he reportedly attacked a National Parks Board (NParks) enforcement officer.

The incident took place at Sungei Serangoon Park Connector.

The man will be charged for attempted murder in court, and the police is also investigating him for possessing offensive weapons in public areas, as well as not safely distancing.

He called on the public to please cooperate with the enforcement officers, who’re unarmed and merely helping to keep Singapore safe from Covid-19.

They do not deserve to be attacked in such a savage manner.

We hope the victim makes a full recovery from his injuries.
