SINGAPORE – The police have arrested a 40-year-old woman for refusing to wear her mask properly and assaulting a police officer who had approached her at Sun Plaza mall on Thursday (May 7).
The Singaporean woman allegedly also insulted mall staff and hurled vulgarities at a security officer who was trying to get her to put on her mask correctly, said the police in a release to the media on Friday.
A widely shared video of the incident also showed the woman taunting a mall employee, asking him to remove his face mask to speak to her.
Mall staff called the police for help at about 2.10pm, but when law enforcement arrived and requested to see her identity, she allegedly started peeling off the address sticker on her identity card.
“When one of the police officers tried to stop her, the woman assaulted the police officer and remained uncooperative,” said the police, noting that the woman had previously been fined $300 on April 29 for not wearing a mask at the same mall in Sembawang.
