An SMRT train bound for Jurong was disrupted at Ang Mo Kio MRT
station at about 10.30 this morning.
Police have arrested a man for attempting suicide by jumping
onto the Ang Mo Kio MRT train tracks.
He is believed to have injured his arm.
According to several eye witnesses, the man, believed to be in
his mid 20s, was led away by the police.
One eye-witness, Mrs Belinda Lee, was on her way to her mother's
place when she spotted the commotion.
Mrs Lee describes.
"I heard the old lady screaming, crying very loudly. So, out of
curiosity, many people went up to see what happened and when we
went up, the train actually stopped halfway. So there was a Malay
lady there, she was crying and in shock. She was in aftershock and
I approached her to ask her what happened and she said she saw a
man jump down to the railway. The train was stopped and all the
passengers were told to alight. "
Anyone convicted of attempting suicide faces a jail term of up
to one year, or with fine, or both
