A knife-wielding man, believed to be in his 40s, was detained on Friday afternoon after being involved in a five-hour standoff with the police in Chai Chee.

A police spokesperson said they received a call at about 10:20am requesting for assistance at a unit at Block 39 Chai Chee Avenue.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force were also on the scene to set up the safety life pack -- a large air cushion designed to break the fall of a person when he lands -- and rescue net as a precautionary measure. He was subsequently arrested for attempted suicide, said police.

The man, who was barefoot, shirtless and wearing jeans, was arrested by police officers in full riot gear at around 3.30pm, reported The Straits Times, who added that the man was unemployed and lived alone.

His neighbour, Madam Molly Gan, 48, followed right behind him as he was led away by the police.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Wouldn't a counselor be more appropriate? Not hostage situation lei, wear riot gear for fuck? The SPF these days everything also cannot handle.
