SINGAPORE: An elderly woman with a knife caused a commotion outside St Hilda's Secondary School at Tampines Street 82 on Monday (Sep 19) evening.

When CNA arrived at the scene at around 7pm, an elderly woman could be seen screaming in pain. At least two police cars and about 10 policemen were spotted at the scene. At least four officers were seen carrying what appeared to be submachine guns.

SCDF said it received a call for assistance at Block 840 Tampines Street 82, opposite St Hilda's Secondary School, at about 6.50pm and subsequently sent a person to Changi General Hospital.

An ambulance arrived shortly after and paramedics tried to calm the woman down. The woman was wearing a green shirt, which was stained with what appeared to be a good amount of blood around the torso region.

Eyewitness Fuad Mohammad said he was on his way out with his father in a car for an extra curriculum activity when he saw police cars and about six policemen trying to take control of the situation.

He spotted an elderly woman who was "at most in her 70s" swinging and waving around what "looked like a knife".

He told CNA that the woman started panicking when more policemen approached her. He added that she was alone at the incident.

In a video sent by Fuad, an elderly woman in a green shirt carrying a bag can be seen waving her hands and speaking to the policemen at the scene.

At least 20 people had gathered across the road, watching the scene unfold.

One person, who did not want to be named, told CNA that he saw a woman holding a knife and pointing towards the officers. She said she heard officers telling the woman to put the knife down.

"I think maybe it was a commotion (for about) 15 minutes. And then she dropped her penknife down and that’s when one of the policemen pinned her against the fence as you can see over there and then they managed to pin her down," the onlooker said, who added that the elderly woman said she wanted to call her husband.

Another witness, Karina Vennard, 30, told CNA that the road had been blocked off and she had to alight from the taxi she was in and walk. In her account, she said the object in the elderly woman's hand appeared to be a pair of scissors.

"When I walked past, I saw her standing there with scissors. She was on the phone. She was shouting at (the police) and they were telling her to drop her weapon.

"And then she dropped her scissors accidentally and she reached over to pick it up. And then that’s when the cops kinda panicked and jumped (on) her and handcuffed her."

Shortly after 7.40pm, the elderly woman was put on a stretcher. She was conscious when taken into an ambulance.

CNA has asked the police for more information.
