SINGAPORE – A 38-year-old man died after he was found wounded with multiple stab wounds in an alleged murder at Punggol Field on Sunday (May 10) night.
Police said they received a call for assistance around 11 p.m. Sunday. Upon arrival, the man was found wounded and was sent to Sengkang General Hospital.
The man later died of his injuries.
A resident who lives near the scene of the incident and called police told The Straits Times that he heard a cry for help while snacking on a late night snack in his living room.
The resident, who wanted to be known only as Mr. Leong, 49, said: “At first it did not occur to me that I was coming from below at the park connector. So I hesitated for a moment, and then heard a second scream of help. “
He said he went to his window to look outside and saw a kneeling man, then standing and walking to the back of a bus stop, where he collapsed on a patch of grass.
“I decided to go downstairs to see what was going on. I thought maybe the man had been injured or was having a heart attack,” said Leong, who works as a member of an airline’s cabin crew.
He added that there was a lot of blood at the scene, “all over the bus stop.”
He remembered asking the man if he was attacked, and the man said yes.
“He kept saying he was losing his breath, so I told him to relax and calm down, that help is coming,” he added.
When the ambulance arrived, Mr. Leong noted that the man had a “deep cut” on the right side of his armpit.
He added that the man looked like he had run out. “He was not wearing a mask and was wearing a soccer jersey and running shoes,” he said.
Anyone with information can call the police hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit information online.
All information will be kept strictly confidential.
Ms Sun Xueling, deputy from Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, said in a Facebook post on Monday that the police will intensify patrols in the area.
He added that the police are also verifying surveillance footage in the area and asked members of the public to share any information if they were in the area at the time of the incident.
“Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the victim. My condolences, “he said.
