It was high drama at a HDB block in Jurong West last Sunday afternoon (April 28) when a man wielding a knife jumped from a 15-storey window and landed on the zinc roof of a makeshift shelter. He survived the fall and was taken to National University Hospital. The incident took place at Block 754 Jurong West Street 74. Before he jumped, the man had an hour-long standoff with the police, reported Shin Min Daily News. A 55-year-old resident surnamed Guo told the Chinese evening daily that she saw the man climb out the window and sit on the ledge. Several police officers and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) personnel were at the scene. SCDF firefighters had deployed a safety mattress below the block and an ambulance was parked nearby. An unnamed resident who lives on the 14th floor told Shin Min that he heard someone arguing and threatening to jump out of the block at about 4pm. Another resident on the 12th floor said that police and SCDF officers had asked to enter his home so they could deploy a safety net. Read more
