October 9, 2016

A 29-year-old man who climbed out of the 15th floor unit at Block 988C Jurong West St 93, to sit at the windows edge was rescued by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). The man was found semi-naked.

A neighbour on the lower floor alerted SCDF about the incident. He said that he was alarmed when he saw a pair of legs dangling from his living room window. The neighbour ran out of his house in fright to his neighbour’s before calling SCDF.

SCDF deployed a rescue net around the block for the man’s safety.
