SINGAPORE: Two male teenagers were severely injured after they were stabbed during a clash between two groups of youths outside Plaza Singapura on Saturday night.

An eyewitness account said that about eight teenagers were engaged in a quarrel at around 10pm at The Atrium @ Orchard, just outside Plaza Singapura Shopping Centre, followed by a scuffle.

He continued to say that after most of the teenagers ran away, two youths in their late teens were left on the ground in a pool of blood.

Police confirmed that a fight had broken out at the location and that the injured youths had been sent to a hospital, but could not comment further at press time.

A friend of the two victims said that the group of about six teenagers had been in Plaza Singapura when they noticed another group of about ten teenagers looking at them with contempt.

He said that a face-to-face confrontation between the two groups ensued outside the shopping centre before a fight broke out.

He added that members of the other group then took out sharp weapons and slashed the victims in their stomachs.

On the scene, one victim appeared unconscious, while the other in severe pain.

Police are investigating the case.
