An 82-year-old woman was attacked by a neighbor with special needs in an HDB lift in MacPherson. The incident was captured on CCTV footage and the woman sustained multiple injuries. Police have been notified and the suspect has a history of similar outbursts.
A woman was taken to the hospital after being attacked by a neighbor with special needs in an HDB lift. Feeling uneasy after noticing a neighbor standing outside her home, a MacPherson resident decided to make a U-turn towards the lift. But the 82-year-old woman was chased down by the male neighbor instead, who attacked her in the lift of Block 62 Circuit Road at about 12:30 pm on Sunday (Jan 5), reported 8world.
Tearfully recounting the incident to 8world, the woman's daughter, surnamed Wu, said her mother was kicked in the chest and then to the ground, and her head had hit the floor. CCTV footage shows the man running after the elderly woman and into the lift, with the latter's shrieks captured in the video. The elderly woman managed to escape to the first floor, where other residents called the police and ambulance for help. Wu said her mother suffered multiple injuries from the assault. She vomited in hospital and experienced palpitations and was placed under observation. She told Lianhe Zaobao that she and her mother are currently renting the MacPherson flat and had moved in last July. This neighbor, reportedly with special needs, often walked along the common corridor and would frequently greet them. 'Whenever he greets, he will have an outburst,' Wu said. Wu had lodged multiple police reports against him, but he would reportedly return home after being admitted to hospital for observation each time. Other neighbors living in the block told 8world about similar disturbances and said they had also filed police reports against the man. Speaking to 8world, the man's mother said her son has autism and his emotions are easily affected by others. The man liked to greet his neighbors, and had become depressed when they stopped responding to him, she explained, surmising that her son's behavior might be due to him thinking that the neighbors disliked them
