A domestic helper from Myanmar jumped from the fourth floor of an HDB flat after a failed attempt to stab her housemate.
The incident occurred on Sunday morning (Aug 16) at Lorong 1 Toa Payoh.
Speaking with Shin Min Daily News, the housemate recounted how she had finished taking a shower that day when the 26-year-old woman attempted to stab her with a pair of scissors.
The housemate managed to dodge the attack and escape into the living room, where other inhabitants tried to restrain the attacker.
However, she managed to break free and started running up and down the corridor, even hitting her head against the wall at one point.
Despite their best efforts at reigning her in, they were unable to do so. One of them sustained light injuries on their arm in the process.
But before anyone could call the police, the helper suddenly turned tail and ran towards the end of the building and threw herself off the fourth storey ledge.
A neighbour was woken up by screams of “call the police”, he told the Chinese daily.
