Knife‑Wielding Man Gets Tasered on Mountbatten Road
On a brisk Monday evening around 6:15 p.m., a 51‑year‑old man with a knife was chased by four officers down Mountbatten Road. The police had already been alerted, and a witness—who chose to stay anonymous—saw the whole thing unfold from his bus seat.
What the Witness Heard
“The cops were shouting at him to stop,’ the rider recalled. ‘He seemed calm, face‑blank, not even flinching.”
Things Took a Turn
Without missing a beat, the suspect reversed direction and headed straight for one of the officers. The officer fired a Taser, causing the man to collapse in the middle of the road, knife clutched in his hand.
Aftermath
- The victim fell face‑first onto the pavement, his face badly bloodied.
- Officers swiftly disarmed him and checked the surrounding traffic to prevent a collision.
- Authorities placed a 51‑year‑old man on arrest for carrying an offensive weapon and a suspected drug‑related offence.
