On Jan. 30, 2020, a 54-year-old man was arrested at 31 Lorong Mambong.

In a statement to Mothership, the Police said had been alerted to a case of dispute at 8.55pm.

Here's their statement in full.

"On 30 January 2020 at 8.55pm, the Police were alerted to a case of dispute at 31 Lorong Mambong. A 54-year-old man was subsequently arrested for drunk and causing annoyance and theft. Police investigations are ongoing."

A Mothership reader who witnessed the incident described the man as being verbally abusive to the officers present. As seen in a video, four officers try get him into the car, but the man appears to resist arrest.

He then attempts to headbutt one of the police officers.

Here is the moment the man appears to assault the officer:

The officer merely smiles back at the man after the headbutt, while another officer is seen placing his hand in between the two, perhaps in an attempt to stop another attack.

One of the four officers can be seen entering the police car from the other side to help bring the man in, eventually succeeding after a while longer.
