SINGAPORE, Oct 4 — A 42-year-old man was apprehended after he was rescued from the aircon ledge of a flat in Bukit Panjang this morning.
The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told AsiaOne they received a call for assistance at Block 635B Senja Road, where a man was spotted standing on the air-con ledge of an eighth-floor unit.
Two photographs seen by AsiaOne show at least one fire engine, a rescue tender and at least three police cars parked along a driveway near the block.
SCDF deployed a safety life air pack as a precautionary measure when they arrived at the scene.
As the man was assessed to possibly pose a danger to himself, the police activated officers from their Crisis Negotiation Unit, while SCDF deployed its Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART).
