Police officers brought down a man after a violent struggle in the Serangoon area at about 12.40pm today. According to several online reports, the incident happened at the open area between blocks 33 and 34 in Bendemeer Road.

The man put up a violent struggle despite being tasered by a police officer. The man was only subdued after 3 police officers assisted by a civilian tackled him. The stocky man was handcuffed soon after he was brought down.

Netizens have commented that the incident reminded them of another tussle the police had with an aggressive man earlier this month. Bystanders had to come to the help of the police in that case.
