After losing her hard-earned money to a pickpocket, a sales promoter in Jurong West was so distraught that she slit her hand with a knife last Saturday (April 20). But thanks to a few passers-by who managed to restrain her, the woman, who sells juice blenders, could not harm herself further, Shin Min Daily News reported. The incident happened at a stall set up outside a provision shop at Block 504, Jurong West Street 51 at around 10.30am. A man who was present at the scene, Lin Kun Yao (transliteration), told the Chinese evening daily that a man was seen squatting next to the sales promoter. On the pretext of tying his shoelaces, he was believed to have nicked $2,000 from the woman's bag, which was made up of the stall's takings for the week and her own money, the 37-year-old added. Shortly after she discovered the money gone and called the police, she was seen sobbing while squatting, her face buried in her hands. The agitated woman later picked up a fruit knife that was on the table and slit her hand. That alarmed several passers-by, who rushed to take the knife away from her. Read more
