After 10 hours, the police managed to track down the assaulters “through ground inquiries and with the aid of images from police cameras,” and arrested them. They are a 25-year-old man and a 30-year-old man.

Both men would be charged tomorrow (12 May 2020) for voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons with common intention.

The police added that they “do not tolerate such brazen acts of violence and blatant disregard of the law. We will spare no effort to apprehend such offenders and deal with them severely in accordance with the law.”

If found guilty, the duo could face life imprisonment, or a jail term of up to 15 years and caning or a fine.

A week ago, a 61-year-old man did the same thing and was charged, but he is now remanded in the Institute of Mental Health for psychiatric assessment for three weeks.
