A 26-year-old Singaporean man, who was believed to have consumed controlled drugs, injured four Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers during a raid on Oct. 20.
The raid occurred at a residential unit along Petir Road at about 4:50am after CNB receiving a tip-off.
The man purportedly armed himself with a knife and put up a struggle to resist the arrest.
In the process, he injured four CNB officers, according to a joint news release by CNB and the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
