Woman, 51, suspected of falling from 4th floor of Holland Drive HDB onto 1st floor eaves, conveyed unconscious to hospital
The woman was later apprehended under Section 7 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act 2008.
On August 19, a 51-year-old woman allegedly fell from the fourth floor of an HDB block onto the first-floor eaves in Holland Drive. The incident occurred around 7:45am at Block 43 Holland Drive. SCDF officers were on the scene, with four officers standing on the first-floor eaves to attend to the unconscious woman. Police cordoned off the area, and the officers transported the stretcher carrying the woman to the second-floor unit via a window.
The witness, a neighbor, claimed the woman often shouted at her without reason, and the open window led them to believe she fell from it. The SCDF conveyed the unconscious woman to National University Hospital, and the police apprehended her under the Mental Health Act. Mental health helplines are available for assistance.
