SINGAPORE, May 26 — A man believed to be wearing only his underwear sparked a five-hour search yesterday along Hume Avenue in Hillview after a call was made to the police that a person had been spotted in a drain.
TODAY has sought comment from the police on whether the man has been found, among other questions. Pending more details from police, TODAY has pieced together what is known so far from witnesses and residents. “I was looking at the ground — it was still quite dark at around 6.30am — when I noticed a light shining from a hole in the drainage cover,” the resident at a Hume Avenue condominium said.Ilano filmed the man in the drain on his phone, but hesitated to call the police because he thought the man might have been working, or a repair man. However, he later noticed that the man was wearing only his underwear.
“Two police officers then came by around 6.50am or 7am, and they seemed surprised that there really was a man in the drain. They then asked people to stay away before calling for back-up.”Between 11.50am and 12.30pm, TODAY spotted waste management workers removing two chairs, a mattress, a black item of luggage and a brown luggage bag from the drain, among other things.Police officers were spotted looking through the items and packing them into about 30 black trash bags.
