Three motorcyclists nabbed a man who attacked a 20-year-old woman with a fruit knife while trying to steal her handphone at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 on Thursday (June 13), at about 9.50pm.

STOMPer A, who saw the incident, said the woman was slashed on her left arm, chest and left thigh, and was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

According to the STOMPer, the man is apparently a foreign worker, and was subsequently arrested by the Police.

A elaborates:

"This incident occurred yesterday (June 13) between 9pm to 10pm, at a traffic junction between Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 9.

"Armed with a fruit knife, this man alighted from his motorbike and approached a young woman on the pretext of asking for directions.

"The 20-year-old woman, not sensing anything amiss, took out her handphone and searched for directions on the phone.

"The man suddenly snatched her phone but she managed to snatch it back from him.

"During the struggle, he whipped out the knife and slashed her on her left arm, chest and left thigh.

"Thankfully three public spirited motorcyclists saw the commotion and managed to prevent the culprit from escaping.

"When the victim's relatives arrived, the woman was already bandaged and was about to leave for KTPH in an ambulance.

"In a hurry, they only managed to thank one of the motorcyclists (a Mr Iqbal and his wife, a nurse) for their public spiritedness.

"Their thanks also goes to the first gentleman who assisted in appending the culprit as well as the other couple who helped to direct the traffic during the commotion."
