SINGAPORE \u2013 A 51-year-old man was arrested for public nuisance and suspected drug-related offences after he was allegedly seen wandering the Aljunied area with a rod in the predawn hours of June 10.<\/p>\n
The police, who received a call for assistance in Aljunied Road on June 10 at around 5.15am, said suspected drug paraphernalia and sleeping pills were found on him.<\/p>\n
The man had minor injuries but refused to be taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
The suspected drug-related offences have been referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau, while the pills-related offence will be referred to the Health Sciences Authority, the police said.<\/p>\n
A man who identified himself as Han told Chinese-language newspaper Shin Min Daily News that he was crossing an overhead bridge while on his way to work when he heard someone shouting from the street below.<\/p>\n
\u201cI looked carefully, then I realised he was holding an iron rod and using it to hit the central divider and the road,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Worried that the man might injure others, Han called the police, who arrived two or three minutes later in four police cars.<\/p>\n
In a video provided by Han, several officers are seen surrounding the man, who eventually surrendered to the authorities.<\/p>\n
Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
