Police armed with riot-control weapon and electric saw break into Lengkok Bahru HDB unit after man locks himself in
Several police officers outfitted with riot gear and weapons were seen breaching a HDB unit in Lengkok Bahru in a viral TikTok video uploaded by user Zailia7276 on Wednesday (April 17).
In the video, officers can be seen positioning themselves outside the flat, with one officer pointing a riot-control weapon, the P4.1, through the grills of the metal gate.
The P4.1, introduced into the Singapore Police Force's arsenal in 2015, is a less-than-lethal weapon that can be used to fire pepper spray and mark out rioters.
The armed officer then steps aside as other officers bring over an electric saw from the right and begin to cut at the gate, sending sparks flying.
Meanwhile, another group on the left stands at the ready with an officer in the front, holding a riot shield.
An officer then steps in from the right, pulling the now-broken gate open as officers on the left rush into the flat.
