SINGAPORE – Three men were indicted on Thursday (May 14) for their alleged involvement in a disturbance case along Upper Cross Street early Sunday morning.
The men are Noor Najat Alwi, 20, Muhammad Farid Surian, 20, and Muhammad Roslan Mohamed Rumli, 29.
Each faces a charge of unrest with a deadly weapon, a knife, at 3.30 a.m. on May 10 in the 101 Upper Cross Street block, People’s Park Center.
The trio, along with two others, Muhammad Syukri Muhammad Iskandar and Muhammad Ilham Noordin, are accused of being members of an illegal assembly whose common goal was to cause harm to five other men.
These five men are Muhammed Shazryl Hykel Abdullah, Muhamad Afiq Hilmi Mohamed Azmi, Mohammad Zunnur Haq Abdullah, Muhammad Syafie Abdul Razak, and Muhammad Fadli Ahnaf Tan.

For this charge, Farid is accused of being at ITE College West at 1 Choa Chu Kang Grove on May 16 of last year at around 4.10 p.m. with the intention of committing a crime of causing harm voluntarily.

The trio were held for a week to conduct further investigations and locate other accomplices, and will return to court on May 21.
Shared Crime Video
A video of Sunday’s riots was shared on social media and showed a group of young men in black waiting in the elevator lobby of a building. They are then attacked by another group and some of the blacks are seen trying to flee the scene.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the incident stemmed from a relationship dispute between one member of each group over a woman.
Since then, police have arrested 11 men and a woman in connection with the incident. Syukri and Ilham remain free as of Wednesday.
Police are investigating one of the men arrested for harboring two other men. All arrested individuals will also be investigated for noncompliance with safe distancing measures under Regulation COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) 2020.
