When it comes to keeping the neighbourhood safe, sometimes a little help from the neighbourhood itself goes a long way. With the help of passers-by in the area, the police managed to subdue a suspect outside Block 107 Jalan Bukit Merah, earning the praise of a resident, according to a video uploaded to TikTok on Wednesday (Oct 23). In the video, approximately five men can be seen working alongside officers to hold down an individual, pressing him to the ground. While the officers secure the torso of the suspect, the passers-by pin down his legs, preventing movement. One individual even hops the fence to get a better angle, using his knees and body weight to push the man down. «Another good example of good community spirit,» a resident can be heard narrating as he films the incident. «A group of quick-thinking residents and workers have helped to subdue a violent man.» He adds that the police response to this situation was «swift» and «professional», and that an ambulance was also called. Once the man is placed in handcuffs, the passers-by then disperse, standing at the sides and letting officers do their work. Read more
