On October 5, a 73-year-old man was found bleeding profusely from his chest and neck at a clinic in Telok Blangah Heights. Dr. Joel Lee, a general practitioner, recounted seeing the man with injuries and asked if he was okay, but the man could only nod and shake his head, indicating distress. The doctor instructed others to apply pressure to the wound and called for an ambulance.

Meanwhile, a 53-year-old man with a wound on his shoulder was also present and conscious. A 32-year-old man later called the police to surrender and was arrested in connection to the incident. The 73-year-old man later died at the hospital, and the 53-year-old was found to be conscious and stable after receiving medical attention.
