A man went on an axe rampage yesterday, hacking away at four cars, before being pinned down by a group of Singapore Civil Defence Force officers.
By then, the man had damaged four cars at the open-air carpark at Block 44, Sims Drive. The incident happened around 1.45pm yesterday.
The New Paper understands that the man, believed to be of unsound mind, lives a few blocks away from the carpark.
According to one witness, SCDF operations officer Mohamed Faizal Latiff, 30, the axe he was wielding looked to be about 30cm long, with a blade of about 10cm.
When contacted, a police spokesman said: "A 28-year-old Chinese man was arrested in connection with a case whereby there was damage caused to four vehicles parked at the open carpark near Block 44, Sims Drive."
Investigations are ongoing.
