A 73-year-old man was fatally stabbed at Telok Blangah Heights, with a 53-year-old also injured and receiving urgent medical help from a nearby doctor.
An eyewitness described the injured elderly man running and shouting for help.
A 32-year-old man surrendered to police and will be charged with murder on Oct 7.
SINGAPORE – The doctor was seeing his first patient for the evening on Oct 5 when a staff burst into his office to say there was someone bleeding in the clinic.
It was around 6pm when Dr Joel Lee from The Local Doctor Clinic at 61 Telok Blangah Heights stepped outside his office. He saw a bleeding man, aided by two others, who said he had been stabbed .
Surprisingly, the injured 53-year-old man, who was bleeding from his left shoulder, told Dr Lee to help someone else instead.
Because a 73-year-old man had also been stabbed and was at a nearby coffee shop in a worse condition, said the younger man .
Dr Lee told him to put pressure on the wound and rushed to the coffee shop.
The elderly man had been bleeding from his chest, and Dr Lee tried to stop the blood flow. He tried to keep the victim awake by talking to him.
Paramedics from the Singapore Civil Defence Force arrived and rushed him to the Singapore General Hospital but he later died from his injuries .
The police said a 32-year-old man later called the police to surrender, and was arrested. He will be charged with murder on Oct 7.
On Oct 6, Dr Lee, 34, told The Straits Times in his office that the elderly man had been bleeding profusely.
He said: “By the time I got there.... there was somebody holding onto his chest, and his hands had already slumped.”
On Oct 5, the police said the 73-year-old man was found lying motionless and a 53-year-old man was injured at the ground floor of the block.
Said Dr Lee : “He (the elderly man) was just trying to tell me he was in distress. When the ambulance arrived, I signalled to the paramedics that he needed to lie down.”
Dr Lee said in any stabbing situation, the priority is to establish if the patient was stabbed in a vital area such as a main artery or lung, and to try to stop the bleeding.
He said cardiopulmonary resuscitation was applied on the man in the ambulance but he died from his injuries.
Harvinder Singh, 66, a Telok Blangah Heights resident for 48 years, was having his evening beer three tables away from where the older man was being treated by Dr Lee.
Singh said the victim was a familiar face at the coffee shop where he had evening meals with his family.
Said Singh : “I heard shouting coming from the letter box area of Block 57. The man then came closer to a small grass patch opposite the coffee shop shouting, ‘Help, help... call police!’
“He was running towards the coffee shop. We were all stunned and did not know what to do until he came closer, and we saw he was bleeding from the right side of his chest.”
There were about 15 patrons at the coffee shop. One of them called the police.
At block 57, ST found blood droplets several metres from the letter box area.
On Oct 6, Telok Blangah MP Rachel Ong said in Facebook post she was heartbroken by the incident.
She had met the family of the deceased on the night of the incident.
Ong said: “I urge everyone not to speculate or share unverified information, whether online or in conversation. Out of respect for the family, please also refrain from sharing names, photos or any details that may identify them. Please allow the police to investigate and the legal process to take its course.”
The police had said the suspect is believed to have acted alone, and there was no evidence to suggest it was a religiously motivated attack or an act of terror.
The offence of murder carries the death penalty.

一名 73 岁男子在直落布兰雅高地被刺身亡，另有一名 53 岁男子受伤，正在附近医生的紧急救治下接受治疗。
目击者称，受伤的老人一边奔跑一边呼救。
一名32岁男子向警方自首，将于10月7日被控谋杀。
新加坡——10 月 5 日晚，医生正在给第一位病人看病，这时一名工作人员冲进他的办公室，说诊所里有人流血了。
大约下午6点，位于直落布兰雅高地61号的本地医生诊所的李医生走出办公室。他看到一名浑身是血的男子，由另外两人搀扶着，那两人说他被刺伤了。
出乎意料的是，这位左肩流血的 53 岁受伤男子却告诉李医生，让他去帮助其他人。
这位年轻人说，因为一名 73 岁的老人也被刺伤，情况更糟，当时他在附近的一家咖啡店里。
李医生让他按住伤口，然后匆匆赶往咖啡店。
老人胸口一直在出血，李医生试图止血。他还通过与老人交谈来保持他的清醒。
新加坡民防部队的医护人员赶到现场，将他紧急送往新加坡中央医院，但他后来因伤势过重不治身亡。
警方称，一名32岁男子随后打电话报警自首，并被警方逮捕。他将于10月7日被控谋杀罪。
10 月 6 日，34 岁的李医生在办公室告诉《海峡时报》，这位老人当时大量出血。
他说：“等我赶到那里时……有人正抱着他的胸口，他的双手已经无力地垂了下来。”
10月5日，警方称，一名73岁的老人被发现一动不动地躺在楼房一楼，一名53岁的男子受伤。
李医生说：“他（那位老人）只是想告诉我他很痛苦。救护车到达后，我示意医护人员让他躺下。”
李医生说，在任何刺伤情况下，首要任务是确定患者是否被刺伤了重要部位，例如主要动脉或肺部，并设法止血。
他说，医护人员在救护车上对该男子进行了心肺复苏术，但他最终因伤势过重而死亡。
66 岁的哈文德·辛格 (Harvinder Singh) 在直落布兰雅高地 (Telok Blangah Heights) 居住了 48 年，他当时正在离李医生治疗老人的地方三张桌子远的地方喝着他的晚间啤酒。
辛格说，受害者是这家咖啡馆的熟面孔，他经常和家人一起去那里吃晚饭。
辛格说：“我听到57号楼的邮箱附近传来喊叫声。然后，那名男子走到咖啡店对面的一小块草地上，大喊‘救命，救命……报警！’”
“他朝咖啡店的方向跑去。我们都惊呆了，不知所措，直到他走近，我们才看到他右胸在流血。”
咖啡店里大约有15名顾客。其中一人报了警。
在 57 号街区，ST 在距离信箱区域几米远的地方发现了血滴。
10月6日，直落布兰雅国会议员王瑞秋在脸书上发帖表示，她对这起事件感到非常伤心。
事发当晚，她曾与死者家属会面。
王女士说：“我呼吁大家不要妄加猜测或传播未经证实的信息，无论是在网上还是在谈话中。出于对家属的尊重，也请不要分享姓名、照片或任何可能泄露他们身份的信息。请让警方进行调查，并让法律程序按部就班地进行。”
警方表示，嫌疑人据信是单独作案，没有证据表明这是一起出于宗教动机的袭击或恐怖行为。
谋杀罪可判处死刑。
