Man attacked Police Officers at Boon Lay Hawker
Centre |
|
|
|
|
At about 1.50pm today, Police received a
call for assistance at the hawker centre at Blk 221B Boon Lay Place. Two
officers were despatched to the scene. |
|
On arrival, officers were informed by
members of public that a Chinese man in his 40s, armed with a chopper,
was sitting at a table. |
|
Our officers returned to their vehicle and
retrieved their shields. They returned to the hawker centre and
approached the man. When the man saw the officers, he picked up the
chopper laid before him on the table and charged towards the officers. |
|
Our officers shouted at the man in English
and Mandarin to put down the chopper, but he ignored the warning and
continued advancing towards the officers with the chopper in his right
hand. |
|
One of the officers then drew his revolver
and fired a shot. A scuffle ensued which resulted in our officers
subduing the man and placing him under arrest. |
|
No one was injured, apart from one of the
officers who suffered minor abrasions on his arm. Police are
investigating the matter. |
