The police were called for assistance on a case of assault and when they arrived at the scene, they found the teenager locked in.
They believed the teenager to be in possession of a knife and assessed that he might pose a danger to himself, so officers from the Crisis Negotiation Unit, Special Operations Command and SCDF were brought in to assist.
Officers managed to gain entry at around 2.30am and the teenager was arrested under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act.
