For 13 whole hours since last night, the police stood by a flat in Ang Mo Kio, waiting to make a move against a man who locked himself inside with his mother. The man held his mother captive as he threatened to kill himself and the elderly lady.
Cops were alerted to the incident at Block 508 along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 yesterday when the man refused to open his door to officers from the Central Narcotics Bureau, The Straits Times reports.
