SINGAPORE, Jul 15 – Police have arrested a 34-year-old man who threatened two others in their 60s with two knives after a dispute at a coffee shop here. In the 7.40pm incident on Wednesday, the three men were having drinks when the younger man left them after a dispute and returned with the weapons.
A video of the incident on social media shows several men restraining the knife-wielding man. He is seen exchanging harsh words with an older man. One of the knives on him is bloodied. The video shows several men trying to pry the knives out of his hands as he shouts and puts up a struggle. Another man is shown sitting and has what appears to be blood on his shirt.
Police told The Straits Times that they received a call for help at 7.39pm. A 34-year-old man was arrested for criminal intimidation and possession of offensive weapons, while a 61-year-old man was arrested for failure to furnish particulars. An ambulance took a 66-year-old man, the one sitting down in the video, conscious to the General Hospital. Police investigations are ongoing.
