A man involved in a long stand-off with the police in Chai Chee was detained after almost five hours today (August 23).
According to a report in The Straits Times Online, police operations were reportedly underway since 10.30am to disarm the man who was wielding a knife in his HDB flat.
The tense situation came to an end at about 3.30pm, when the man - who was barefoot, shirtless and wearing jeans - was subdued and taken away by police officers in full riot gear.
A Singapore Civil Defence Force spokesman said they arrived at the scene at about 10.30am and proceeded to set up a rescue net and a Life Pack - a large air cushion designed to break the fall of a person when he lands - at the foot of Block 39, Chai Chee Avenue.
The man is said to be in his 40s, is currently unemployed and lives alone.
