A 39-year-old man has locked himself and a 2-year-old boy in a unit at Block 462 Sembawang Drive for  more than 12 hours on Wednesday (Sept 28), following a dispute with the child’s family members a day earlier.

Authorities said negotiations with the man are still ongoing as of 6.45am on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, about 6.44pm, the police received a call about the incident, but the man refused to open the door to officers.

Officers from Ang Mo Kio Division, Crisis Negotiation Unit and Special Operations Command are currently managing the incident.

Members of the public are advised to stay outside the police cordon and comply with instructions of police officers at scene.
