Young couple attacked, slashed by teen

A young couple were attacked at a void deck by a knife-wielding youth on Sunday night.

According to Shin Min Daily, the 20-year-old man and 19-year-old girl were chatting at Block 504, Hougang Avenue 8 when the incident happened.

A resident told the same paper that she saw a man scolding the couple loudly in Hokkien before they got into a fight. The man then attacked them with a knife.

The couple then ran from the void deck to a nearby carpark in an attempt to escape, leaving a 50-metre-long trail of blood.

The girl's father told the paper that his daughter was a good girl and would never provoke another person.

A police spokesperson told Yahoo! Singapore that the girl sustained wounds to her shoulder while the man had facial injuries. They were sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for treatment.

A male suspect has been arrested. Police are investigating the incident.
