A 58-year-old man was arrested after a two-hour standoff at a residential block in Jurong East on Tuesday night (Oct 6).
In response to AsiaOne's queries, both the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received calls for assistance at Block 240B Jurong East Avenue 1 at around 8.25pm.
Upon arrival, police officers established that the man had locked himself inside his unit and that he may pose a danger to himself.
Officers from the police's Special Operations Command and Crisis Negotiation Unit, along with SCDF personnel, were deployed to the scene.
As a precautionary measure, SCDF set up a safety life air pack at the foot of the block, with Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team officers on standby.
Officers managed to gain entry into the flat at around 10.30pm.
A knuckle duster was found in the unit.
The man was subsequently arrested for scheduled weapons and drug offences, police added.
He has been referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau for suspected drug-related offences.
Police investigations are ongoing.
