В Сингапуре задержали мужчину с пилой и подозрением на употребление наркотиков

SINGAPORE: A 55-year-old man was arrested on July 5 after he was seen swinging a saw near a Housing Board block in Bedok North. In a statement that same day, the police said they received a call for assistance at Block 539 Bedok North Street 3 at about 3.25pm. The police said that the man refused to comply with repeated warnings from officers to drop the saw and kept shouting incoherently. The police added that, to de-escalate and contain the situation, its officers used a Taser to stop the man. He was then arrested for public nuisance, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, suspected consumption of a controlled drug and was taken conscious to Changi General Hospital. No other injuries were reported. The suspected drug-related offence has been referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau and investigations are ongoing. - The Straits Times/ANN
