As the train approached Ang Mo Kio MRT Station at 7 pm, a loud noise disrupted the commuter crowd. Abdul Nasir had accidentally dropped a kitchen knife, which was wrapped in a newspaper, shocking the passengers along the way.
Abdul Nasir decided to retrieve the fallen knife and took it out from its newspaper wrapping. With a weapon in hand, he began to wave it around recklessly, even using it to scratch his foot, striking fear into the commuters in the vicinity.
Abdul Nasir’s alarming behavior escalated further. At 7:20 pm, he moved towards the train doors and began banging on them with the knife, all while shouting incoherently.

The judge presiding over the case acknowledged the severity of Abdul Nasir’s actions. He noted that the accused had instilled fear in the public with his knife-wielding antics and that he had indeed intended to use the weapon against his roommate. Consequently, the court sentenced Abdul Nasir to seven months’ imprisonment.
In a somewhat compassionate gesture, the judge also expressed willingness to arrange for a social worker to assist Abdul Nasir with his housing predicament upon his release from prison.
