Old Man Hockey Stick
A netizen said that the incident took place at Redhill, but it is not confirmed. A loud banging noise was heard coming from the HDB unit of a quiet residential area. It was 4 am and the residents were all fast asleep, but the banging noise was too loud to ignore.
The man first banged the door twice with the hockey stick and peak at the corner of the door, he continued to bang the door before trying the pry it open.
The man was spotted standing in a daze and left after failing to open the unit.

The man was later spotted moving down the staircase and appears to be “trying” other units.
Mental illness or housebreaking?
While some netizens think that the man is trying to commit housebreaking and robbery, others think that the man might be suffering from mental illness.

We must be vigilant and take steps to ensure that they are safe, and that they do not put themselves or anyone else in danger.
