A MAN in his early 40s not only lost cash and valuables worth $1,200 but was slashed after he was robbed along Maxwell Road in Raffles Place.
He was approached by three men when he was walking along the road on Friday at about 11.45pm. One of them said he should know what to do as it was Chinese New Year. The same man then took out a parang and began slashing him.
The other two also took out knives and joined in the attack.
The three men then made off with the victim's belongings - a clutch bag containing $400 and an $800 watch.
The man suffered cuts to his arms and was admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He has since been discharged.
Anyone with information can contact the police on 1800-255 0000.
