Kid Chaos: A Knife Turns a Preschool Rehearsal into a Crime Scene
Picture a sunny National Day rehearsal—ten tiny singers in tutus, a stage buzzing with excitement—then a twist that feels straight out of a thriller. A 55‑year‑old man stormed in, knife in hand, shouting, “Get it down!” The atmosphere turned tense, like one of those spooky school‑yard chalk drawings suddenly animated.
Event Snapshot
- Location: Block 785E, Woodlands Rise
- Time: Around 11 am, Monday, 29 July
- Participants: Roughly 30 kindergarteners, 6 teachers, 8 police officers
- Weapon: A 20‑cm knife (no less than a decorative dagger from a movie set)
Kids were rehearsing for a National Day show, jazzed up with a white screen, speaker, and microphones. Suddenly, a stranger—armed with a blade that looked more like a novelty prop than a threat—appeared, turning rehearsal into a scene from a crime drama.
Police to the Rescue
Eight officers swooped in, batons prepared, and demanded the man drop the knife. Despite initial reluctance, the visitor finally complied, laying on the ground to a clear “yes.” The teachers, in the nick of time, dodged and drew some bruises from the frantic rush.
Video That Spread Wildly
A clip posted on Facebook by user Muhammad Raihan captured the whole saga in under three minutes. You see the man stand amid a rehearsal, braces flailing as officers work the scene, then surrendering, hearts pounding inside the tiny stage.
Authorities Confirm Arrest
The police confirmed the 55‑year‑old was linked to a theft case and was taken into custody after the incident at the earlier rehearsal. The children’s National Day rehearsal resumed later with a new sense of safety and an extra moment of solidarity.
