SINGAPORE: A 36-year-old woman was charged on Friday (Mar 21) over a chopper attack at a cooked food stall in People's Park Complex earlier this week.
He Longfeng was handed one charge of voluntarily causing hurt to a person with a chopper on Wednesday at about 8.45pm. The knife had a 17cm blade and 12cm handle, according to the charge sheet.
The Chinese national has been remanded at the Institute of Mental Health for medical examination. Her case is fixed for a mention on Apr 4.
Police earlier said in response to CNA's queries that they were alerted to the incident at about 8.45pm on Wednesday.
Two men, aged 41 and 30, were taken conscious to the hospital. A 42-year-old man was assessed by the Singapore Civil Defence Force for minor injuries but declined to be sent to the hospital.
At the scene on Wednesday evening, Chinese news outlet 8World reported that the front of the stall and the alley beyond it were cordoned off.
The floor near the counter was stained with blood, while plastic bags, food container lids and other items were scattered all over the floor.
A middle-aged man was seen with a police officer in the shop, pointing to the blood stains as he spoke.
Voluntarily causing hurt by means of any instrument carries a jail term of up to seven years, a fine, or caning, or any combination of the punishments.
