An elderly man got his arm stuck in an iJooz vending machine in Hougang, ultimately requiring assistance from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to be freed.<\/p>\n
Footage of the incident was uploaded to TikTok on Monday (Aug 3) by a user who goes by Yan.<\/p>\n
“Uncle’s arm got stuck in a self-serve juicer,” she wrote in the caption, adding that the incident occurred on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The 32-second video showed the man hunched over an iJooz vending machine, with his forearm stuck inside.<\/p>\n
Multiple police officers can be seen surrounding the man and attempting to help him, while a crowd formed to watch the scene unfold.<\/p>\n

SCDF personnel later arrived and attended to the man, with bags of equipment and a gurney visible in the footage.<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the SCDF said that the incident occurred on Sunday at around 7.50pm at 1 Hougang Street 91, and that they conveyed one person to Sengkang General Hospital.<\/p>\n
The TikTok has since garnered over 28,000 views, with netizens pouring into the comments section to weigh in on the incident.<\/p>\n
“Dude trying to get his daily vitamin C,” one quipped jokingly, speculating that the man may have been trying to retrieve oranges from the machine.<\/p>\n
While some netizens made light of the incident, others raised concerns about whether sufficient safety measures are in place to prevent children from finding themselves in a similar situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
