An 82-year-old woman was attacked in a HDB lift by her neighbour with special needs in MacPherson, Singapore. The incident was captured on CCTV footage. The woman suffered multiple injuries and was taken to the hospital. Police have received multiple reports against the assailant.
A MacPherson resident, an 82-year-old woman, was attacked by her neighbour with special needs in a HDB lift on Sunday (Jan 5). Feeling uneasy after noticing the man standing outside her home, the woman decided to make a U-turn towards the lift around 12.30pm. But she was chased down by the neighbour, who attacked her in the lift of Block 62 Circuit Road. CCTV footage shows the man running after the elderly woman and into the lift, with her screams captured in the video.
The woman managed to escape to the first floor, where other residents called the police and ambulance. The woman suffered multiple injuries from the assault and was taken to the hospital. Her daughter, surnamed Wu, said her mother vomited in hospital and experienced palpitations. She is currently under observation. Wu stated that her mother and she are currently renting the MacPherson flat and had moved in last July. This neighbour, reportedly with special needs, often walked along the common corridor and would frequently greet them. Wu had lodged multiple police reports against him, but he would reportedly return home after being admitted to hospital for observation each time. Other neighbours 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 neighbours, and had become depressed when they stopped responding to him, she explained, surmising that her son's behaviour might be due to him thinking that the neighbours disliked them

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) attributed the price increase to strong demand and some supply tightness, noting the impact of the lowered loan-to-value limit for HDB housing loans.
