Man charged for alleged razor blade attacks at Strathmore Avenue
SINGAPORE — A man who was accused of injuring others with a razor blade at Strathmore Avenue was charged in court on Wednesday (16 March).
Mohd S Muhibullah Said Abdullah, 33, was handed two counts of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means.
He is said to have slashed a woman with a razor blade on her left arm between 6.20pm and 6.25pm on Monday, causing her to suffer a laceration. Around the same time, Muhibullah also allegedly slashed a man with a razor blade on the left side of his neck, causing a five-centimetre laceration.
The 38-year-old man was conveyed conscious to the hospital, while the 49-year-old woman suffered minor injuries and refused conveyance to the hospital.
Muhibullah, a Singaporean, was remanded for psychiatric observation, after he had claimed to have heard voices in his head telling him to attack people. He will return to court on 30 March.
According to the police, Muhibullah has past records with the Institute of Mental Health and is traced for consumption of controlled drugs.
If convicted of voluntarily causing hurt through a weapon or dangerous means, Muhibullah may be jailed up to seven years, and/or fined and/or caned.
