A 25-year-old man was arrested after causing a scene that lasted around three hours at Block 363C Sembawang Crescent on Tuesday afternoon (Dec 25).
Stomper Sam, a resident in the area, said he heard a commotion downstairs at around 3.30pm and looked out of his window. That was when he noticed a man at the opposite block.
Sam told Stomp: "The man was prancing along the ledge outside the block of flats. He was going from one unit to another on the ledge for over two hours.
"The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were activated.
"At around 6.15pm, a thud was heard when he presumably landed on an inflatable safety life air pack deployed by the SCDF."
Responding to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to a case of attempted suicide at 3.21pm.
The man was conscious when taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
He was subsequently arrested in relation to the case.
Police investigations are ongoing.
