A widely-circulated video showed a woman hanging from a Eunos Crescent HDB window and then falling before Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers could set up a safety air pack.
The woman was subsequently conveyed to Changi General Hospital.
The clip, which lasted more than two minutes, seemingly showed police officers standing at the foot of Block 36 Eunos Crescent.
The woman was standing on the ledge outside a fifth-floor window while holding on to the grille.
Despite the officers’ attempt to dissuade her, she eventually jumped from the ledge.
According to SCDF, she’d jumped before a safety life air pack could be set up.
