An uncle was seen without a shirt, holding on to 2 knives and walking around a neighbourhood.
The public was understandably alarmed and the police were then called in.
The incident happened on 7 June at around 8am, at Block 309 Hougang Avenue 5.
Some residents saw the shirtless uncle walking around with the knives and were worried that he was going to hurt others with it.
More than 10 police officers arrived at the scene, including a member of the emergency response force.
He was seen holding the knives and walking around, before sitting down on a nearby bench.
When the police approached him, he did not struggle or resist, he just stood up agitatedly during the conversation.
The police confirmed that a 58-year-old man was arrested on charges of possession of an offensive weapon.
Fortunately no one was hurt in the incident and investigations are currently ongoing.
