SINGAPORE — A 28-year-old man was arrested for causing public nuisance along Orchard Road on Sunday morning (Nov 10).
A video purportedly showing the arrest has gone viral on social media.
Many netizens have identified the man in the video as local singer and actor Aliff Aziz, but the police have declined to confirm his identity.
In the video, a man is seen being pinned down on the side of the road by two policemen.
He is also heard telling the officers: “Sir… you talk to my father, sir… I never resist!”
In a statement, the police said that officers were on patrol at 6.40am on Sunday when they came across two men arguing at Orchard Road.
Despite repeated warnings from the officers to keep the peace, the 28-year-old man — who also reeked of alcohol — refused to comply and continued to create further annoyance to the public.
The police added that the man resisted and put up a violent struggle when the officers were making the arrest.
Not a stranger to controversy, Mr Aliff was previously charged with stealing S$400 in cash, cigarettes and a lighter.
Police investigations are ongoing.
