Raubern 6th Gear January 9, 2023 Share January 9, 2023 (edited) SINGAPORE – A 42-year-old man was arrested on Monday morning after taking a 60-year-old woman hostage in Yishun. The police said they responded to a call for assistance at 7:35am along Yishun Ring Road. A man had allegedly held a woman at knifepoint, and a knife was seized as a case exhibit. In a video shared on Facebook, the man can be seen at the void deck of Block 108 Yishun Ring Road holding a knife to the woman’s neck as police officers tried to calm him down. Officers continued negotiating with the man, who then took the woman to the nearby hawker centre at Block 110. Officers believed to be from the Singapore Police Force’s Emergency Response Team then arrived at the scene, armed with bulletproof vests and submachine guns. The officers rushed towards the man, pinning him to the ground. A bystander can be seen helping out. The woman sustained minor injuries, but refused to be taken to the hospital, said the police. Based on preliminary investigations, the man and woman do not know each other. Police investigations are ongoing.

Confusedboi Supercharged January 9, 2023 Share January 9, 2023 Crime like this will only occur more often it the cost of living keeps spiraling upwards coupled with severe over crowding of this island and govt doesnt step in more pro actively to reduce the wide income gap. People left behind will resort to crime to survive when desperate. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess cos it's Yishun is he's either on substance abuse, unsound mind or hearing voices or all of these. 😅 Probably best to wait for police's investigation to understand. Yada-ing. Stay safe Cheers 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
