  "summary": "A 64-year-old man was arrested in Ang Mo Kio after a 2½-hour standoff with police on the night of November 5. The incident began around 12:20 am when police received a call for assistance at Block 420 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10, finding the elderly man locked inside his flat. Concerns arose that he may have posed a danger to himself, leading the police to deploy officers from the Crisis Negotiation Unit and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). By 2:50 am, after negotiations, the man was safely arrested, and a knife was seized from the scene.",
