*A 20-year-old man was arrested for attempted suicide at Block 613C Punggol Drive yesterday (Feb 19). *

A 20-year-old man was arrested for attempted suicide at Block 613C Punggol Drive yesterday (Feb 19).

Stomper Hazel was going home after dinner when she noticed a huge crowd had gathered below her block.

"There were police cars and ambulances, and the area was cordoned off," she said.

When she looked up she saw a man sitting on a ledge.

"I think he was on the top floor, the 16th storey," she said.

In response to Stomp's media queries, a police spokesman said that the police were alerted at 7.22pm to a case of attempted suicide at the said location.

"A 20-year-old man was arrested in relation to the case," he said.

Police investigations are ongoing.
