Been a few days since I went on STOMP to read up on the latest news..but spotted on STOMP today, I saw this horrifying incident:

A man was slashed multiple times at Geylang on Thursday evening, leaving a long trail of blood. He had apparently been followed by three youths earlier. Lianhe Wanbao reported that the man had walked into the compound of HighPoint Community Services Association at Lorong 23 Geylang. Three youths were seen following him.

Later, the man in his 30s was spotted crawling out from behind the building to the open air carpark by a security guard. He left a long trail of blood. The man had suffered multiple slash wounds on his head and body.
