A 35-year-old woman was sentenced to 11 weeks’ jail after she stabbed a co-worker twice in the arm with scissors at a Changi Airport food court.
Changsuwan Titirat pleaded guilty to one charge of voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon, Shin Min Daily News reported.
Co-Worker Pushed Her Into a Metal Stool
The court heard that Changsuwan and Charoensuk Krittya, 53, had worked together for nearly a month at Singapore Food Street in the transit area of Terminal 3.
At about 9:05pm on 2 May 2025, the two argued in the kitchen. Charoensuk pushed Changsuwan, who fell against a metal stool and fractured her seventh rib on the left side. Another employee separated them.
Less than five minutes later, Charoensuk returned to the kitchen and threw a ladle at Changsuwan, who was preparing ingredients with scissors. Changsuwan stabbed her twice and stopped when Charoensuk backed away.
Charoensuk was treated at Changi General Hospital for a cut to her left arm and given three days of medical leave.
Co-Worker Faces Separate Charges
Charoensuk faces one charge of voluntarily causing grievous hurt and one of criminal intimidation. She allegedly held a ladle and threatened to break Changsuwan’s nose. Her case was pending as of 13 November 2026.
