A video purportedly showing the slashing incident at ITE College West has since surfaced online. In the 26-second video uploaded to YouTube, two men can be seen physically facing off with each other. A man in a white top and black pants is then seen trying to slash another man wearing dark-coloured clothes, with what looks like a parang as students and a security guard watch on.
