A HAWKER'S assistant told The Striats Times yesterday how he was
stabbed by a love rival at the void deck of a block of
flats.
Mr Hendrix Goh, 25, said the 19-year-old, who had once dated his
girlfriend, knifed him in the collarbone, left arm and back.
He said he was hospitalised for a week after the incident in
Bedok North earlier this month.
The youth is understood to have been arrested. Mr Goh said he
was walking to get a taxi with his girlfriend and two other friends
after having supper at a hawker centre when the suspect called to
say that he wanted to come and return the girl's phone.
When he arrived, he asked to speak to Mr Goh privately.
Then, Mr Goh said, the youth took out a jack-knife from his
pocket and slashed his cheek. He said his girlfriend ran forward to
help, but the youth pushed her away. A tussle broke out, during
which Mr Goh was stabbed.
"Everything was full of blood. My T-shirt, jeans, watch and even
handphone," he said,
Mr Goh said he has not yet regained full mobility in his left
arm, and is in pain. It is understood that the police are
investigating.
