A 33-year-old man seen sitting at the ledge of an outdoor garden of a commercial building in Commonwealth was rescued on Thursday (Aug 20) night.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at about 8pm at 1 Commonwealth Lane, the registered address of One Commonwealth, a light industrial development.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A video of the incident posted on social media shows Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) rescuers rappelling down the building from the rooftop of the nine-storey building.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They are then seen accessing the floor below from an opening.<\/p>\n
At least one safety life air pack is seen deployed on the ground floor.<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police stated that officers responding to the incident had assessed that the man could pose a danger to himself.<\/p>\n
Officers from the police’s crisis negotiation unit and SCDF were then activated.<\/p>\n
SCDF told AsiaOne that they deployed two safety life air packs as a precautionary measure, adding that nets were deployed as its Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) rescuers rappelled from the unit above to rescue the man.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old was brought in safely at about 10.40pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was taken to the National University Hospital, where he was later apprehended under Section 7(1) the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act 2008.<\/p>\n
Under Section 7 of the Act, the police have the power to arrest anyone believed to be dangerous to himself or other persons.<\/p>\n
