SINGAPORE \u2013 A 46-year-old man was arrested on May 18 after he was seen holding two hacksaws at a carpark in Bukit Batok.<\/p>\n
In response to media queries, the police said they received a call for assistance near Bukit Batok Street 31 at 9.10pm that day.<\/p>\n
Police officers found the man holding two hacksaws at the open carpark when they arrived.<\/p>\n
As the man posed a potential threat, possibly either seriously hurting himself or other people, officers drew their tasers and verbally commanded him to drop the hacksaws, the police said.<\/p>\n
The man complied with the order, and he was later arrested for possession of offensive weapons.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
In a video of the incident posted on TikTok on May 20, four police officers can be seen near a man in a black long-sleeved shirt. Two police cars are parked nearby.<\/p>\n
Two police officers appear to be pointing their tasers at him, while another is seen holding a riot shield. Facing the officers, the man then squats down slowly.<\/p>\n
