Criminal Procedure Code
Arrest by private persons. Procedure in such cases.
34. (1) Any private person may arrest any person who, in his view,
commits a non-bailable and seizable offence, or who has been
proclaimed under section 51, and shall, without unnecessary delay,
hand over the person so arrested to the nearest police officer or,
in the absence of a police officer, take that person to the nearest
police station.
(2) If there is reason to believe that such person comes under
section 32 a police officer shall rearrest him.
(3) If there is reason to believe that he has committed a
non-seizable offence and he refuses on the demand of a police
officer to give his name and residence or gives a name or residence
which the officer has reason to believe to be false or gives a
residence which is not within Singapore he shall be dealt with
under section 33.
(4) If there is no reason to believe that he has committed any
offence he shall be at once released.
(5) Any person who commits an offence on or with respect to the
person or property of another may, if his name and residence are
unknown, be apprehended by the person injured or by any person who
is using the property to which the injury is done, or by the
employee of either of those persons or by any person authorised by
or acting in aid of either of those persons, and may be detained
until he gives his name and address and satisfies such person that
the name and address so given are correct or until he can be
delivered into the custody of a police officer.
(6) If any person lawfully apprehended under subsection (5)
assaults or forcibly resists the person by whom he is so
apprehended or any person acting in his aid, he shall be guilty of
an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not
exceeding $100.
Would you say he tried to forcibly resist arrest, as in (6)?
