Accompanied by disturbing images of the injured victim, the user also posted screenshots of a WhatsApp group conversation, providing details that shed light on the terrifying event. The victim, identified as a Malay man in his 40s, suffered severe injuries during the incident, particularly to his hand.

The user suggested that the assailant may have chosen this early hour because of the low visibility and the proximity to the residential area, where fewer people are on the streets at the time. The post urged caution for those who exercise alone, emphasizing that the victim might have been safer if he had jogged a bit later when more people would be out and about.

As of now, there is no additional information regarding the extent of the victim's injuries or any losses incurred. It remains unclear whether there have been any follow-up actions taken in response to the incident.
