A 50-year-old woman who allegedly threatened suicide after a quarrel with her adoptive mother was arrested on Wednesday (Sept 2) after a stand-off at Block 107 Toa Payoh Lorong 1, police confirmed.
According to an 8world report, the woman had been arguing with her mother since 12pm that day.
The woman, who remains unnamed, then reportedly locked herself and her mother in the flat and threatened suicide.
The police said they were alerted to the situation at 1.02 pm.
Over 10 police officers, five Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers and two Special Operations Command vehicles were seen at the scene, an eyewitness told the Chinese daily.
Officers from the SCDF’s Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team were also spotted on the roof of the block.
The foot of the block was cordoned off and an inflatable safety life air pack was set up.
The six-hour stand-off came to an end when police officers forced open the door and arrested the woman under the Mental Health Act.
No one was injured, the police said.
