Two men aged 22 and 28 stabbed a man through the back with a 20cm harpoon at Ming Arcade on 4 June.
Here’s what happened.
Stabbed Man at 4:30am
The police were alerted to a case of stabbing at Ming Arcade at about 4:30am on 4 June.
When officers arrived at the crime scene at 21 Cuscaden Road, the 23-year-old victim was found bleeding profusely with the 20cm harpoon stuck in his back. He was conscious when taken to the hospital, and is in stable condition.
BTW, a harpoon is a barbed, spear-like instrument that is typically used to hunt sea creatures like whales.
S. Mageshwaran, 28, and Sheran Raj Balasubramaniam, 22, fled the scene but were identified through CCTV footage during investigations.
One Man Also Involved in Another Crime That Morning
One of the men was also involved in a separate crime that morning at about 8.45am, where the police were alerted to a man holding a parang at Labrador Park.
The man, who was unnamed in reports, was with an accomplice and fled before police arrived. The accomplice, 19-year-old Miranda Daniel Benjamin Catapia, was also arrested after being identified through CCTV footage.
That man sure had a busy day of crime before getting caught.
