SINGAPORE: Police have arrested a 40-year-old man in connection with the incident at the Golden Landmark Shopping Complex yesterday on Monday.

He is one of two men suspected to have used what Police now believe to be 'pepper spray' to attack another man.

A total of 19 people were taken to hospital after inhaling the substance sprayed by the assailants.

Of the 19, two women are still warded at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and are in a stable condition.

They are believed to be recovering slower than other patients due to underlying medical conditions.

The others have been discharged - seven from Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and 10 from Singapore General Hospital.

A two-year-old girl who was transferred to KK Women's and Children's Hospital has also been discharged.

Police are still on the search for the other man involved in the attack. - CNA/vm
