SINGAPORE - Police have arrested a 55 year-old man for throwing two flower pots from Block 9 Selegie Road.
On May 26 at about 4.50pm, police was informed by the residents that two flower pots had been thrown from an unknown floor of Block 9 Selegie Road. The pots landed on a badminton court beside the pavilion, and nobody was injured.
Police learned that a dark-complexioned man had thrown the flower pots from that block. During investigations, police found flower pot stains at the balcony of the suspect unit which corresponded with the size of the broken flower pots found at the badminton court.

He will be charged for Rash Act Which Endangers Life or the Personal Safety of Others under section 336(a) of the Penal Code, Chapter 224. If convicted, he shall be punished with up to six months' jail, or with a fine which may extend to $2,500, or with both.
