Attacked!

I was assaulted this evening by two men wearing motorcycle helmets just outside Katelyn's flat (ironically i had just brought her back so that she would be safe).

The men ran up from behind me, each hitting me hard on the head with a glass bottle. I shouted, and charged back at one of them, but i had one bottle slammed in my face and the other bottle broke somehow (perhaps on my head as well - i am not sure). Then i decided to make a dash for it, because a broken bottle will do a lot more damage. I outran them easily.

There was blood everywhere, my shirt was ripped and i was a bit dazed. I called Katelyn, who called police and ambulance and i went back to talk to people that had been in the area. Two guys were sitting on the floor nearby. They were still eating dinner and must have been witness to the entire event, but when i approached them and asked them to stay behind so as to explain to the police what happened, they ran away. Perhaps they were illegally staying in Singapore.

I was taken by ambulance to a hospital where a friendly doctor stitched my head back together. No real damage, other than a slight headache and a fist-fight-face for a few days (luckily i didn't loose any teeth).

I filed a statement, but we believe that the police will not do much. Katelyn the detective already retrieved the bottom half of the broken bottle from the scene. She will be checking the store around the corner; perhaps there were buyers carrying helmets caught on closed circuit television. These guys where amateurs. Only a bunch of mambos will believe they can bring down a healthy guy with a couple of blows.

So much for the "always safe" Singapore.
