SINGAPORE – A man accused of attacking another man with a Swiss Army knife
Muhammad Aiman Mohamed Rupie, 21, allegedly slashed the 25-year-old victim at around 10.30pm on Dec 22.
Court documents do not state the reasons behind the alleged attack.
But in a Facebook post on Dec 23, netizen Daniel Redha recounted how his younger brother, a GrabFood delivery rider, was attacked the night before in Marsiling following a dispute with a customer.
According to Mr Daniel, the argument was over a payment-related matter.
The police said in a statement that officers received a call about the incident at 10.35pm on Dec 22. Aiman was arrested soon after.
His case will be mentioned again in court on Jan 14, 2025.
If convicted of voluntarily causing hurt with a weapon, he can be jailed for up to seven years, fined, caned or receive any combination of such punishments.
