Naked housewife perched on HDB ledge

[Ahtong]

SINGAPORE - A naked woman sat on a sixth storey ledge of a HDB flat for more than one and a half hours yesterday, as alarmed neighbours looked on.

 

The incident happened at a block of flats around Toa Payoh yesterday at 9am.

 

A Lianhe Wanbao reader sent in a photo of the scene showing a naked woman perched precariously on the ledge below the kitchen window.

 

 

Below her were SCDF personnel and police who had rushed on the scene. They were setting up an inflatable mattress below her.

 

The reader told Wanbao she had initially thought there was a fire at a neighbouring block, but upon closer look, found the woman sitting on the ledge between the fifth and sixth storeys of the block.

 

"She was so high up, everyone was worried she was going to jump," said the reader.

 

Another eye-witness, an 82-year-old retiree who stays in the same block, said the woman was crying and mumbled to herself at times.

 

The retiree said the woman did not seem to care about the danger and continued to move her legs about. She said the situation was tense and everyone watching was nervous.

 

The woman was eventually pulled to safety by an SCDF personnel.

 

According to Wanbao, the woman, 45, is a housewife of Indian ethnicity and stays on the sixth floor unit.

 

Police say the woman has been admitted to Tan Tock Seng and has been arrested for attempted suicide

The police had received a call at about 6pm on Sunday, requesting for assistance at Block 144, Teck Whye Avenue.

 

According to an eyewitness who wrote in to Stomp, "one ambulance, two police cars, and two fire engines arrived at the scene just when the guy's friends pulled him back up."

 

An Indian man in his early 50s was arrested for attempted suicide, the police said.
