  "summary": "A 24-year-old man, Jabez Gunasekaran, has been charged over a knife attack on Prinsep Street that left two individuals injured on October 25. The incident occurred around 7.40am at Club Vendetta and resulted in one victim suffering lacerations on his head, arm, and wrist, while the other sustained a laceration on his arm. Jabez, who had previously been issued a police supervision order, was arrested on the same day and faces a charge of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon, which could result in up to seven years in jail, fines, and caning. Police supervision orders can result in double the standard jail time for those found guilty. Knife crime remains a concern in Singapore, with 68 knife-related incidents reported in the first half of 2026.",
