Yet another teen was slashed yesterday (Nov 18) at Block 448, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. This follows a recent spate of youth slashing incidents involving teenagers carrying weapons such as knives and parangs.
Teens seem to be walking around fearlessly with weapons, even after islandwide raids and arrests, in relation to the murder of 19-year-old Darren Ng at Downtown East and the Bukit Panjang attacks, have been carried out.
STOMPer Gao Luck says the increase in youth violence and teenagers carrying knives are worrying trends.
He says:
"I was shocked to hear about another case of youth violence in AMK where a teen was slashed yesterday.
"Two youths had apparently got into a loud dispute and after a shoving match, one of them whipped out a knife and slashed the other on his right arm.
"News reports said the victim left a blood trail, stretching from outside a fast-food restaurant, across Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 to Block 445.
"The victim was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
"Why are teens bringing knives around these days and why are they becoming so hot-tempered and getting angry over trivial matters?
"When will all these senseless attacks stop?"
