Man Arrested Near Raffles Place MRT in a Scene Straight Out of a Movie

What Went Down

On Wednesday, Nov 20, a 43‑year‑old man found himself in a real‑life “theft of the century” moment—only this time it was a public order offense, not a robbery.

Video Goes Viral

A Stomp contributor named Jeri captured the chaos on camera. The video shows the guy holding up signs and yelling—but a desperate glance tells us the messages were probably written in a table‑topped mystery style, because nobody could read the words. Still, the vibe was clear: this was a protest, and it was intensifying.

Eyewitness Account
  • Jeri details the scene: “A crowd gathered around him, all chasing for a quick snap.”
  • “Police arrived, handcuffed him, and it looked more like a film set than a routine arrest.”

Police Statement

The authorities were tipped off at about 5 pm. According to a police spokesperson, “A 43‑year‑old man was arrested for offenses under the Public Order Act.” The statement was brief, but it kept the law‑and‑order vibe alive.

Ongoing Investigation

Investigations are still underway. Officials are grilling the background to figure out what prompted the demonstration and how it escalated into an arrest.
