Woman Jumps from 5th Floor Eunos HDB Window Before Safety Measures Arrive

A video of a woman standing on the ledge of a fifth-floor Housing and Development Board (HDB) window in Eunos is circulating online.

The woman eventually jumped off the ledge before a safety life air pack could be set up below, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force.

The video began with the woman standing outside an HDB window in Block 36 Eunos Crescent, while SCDF officers were on standby below.

The area was cordoned off to the public as the woman dangled by the window ledge, leaning out while grabbing onto the railing.
