Teenager crashes through walkway shelter after falling from Tampines block

Residents along 12 Tampines Street listened to an argument for five minutes before seeing a teenager walk through a pedestrian shelter.

The 18-year-old had fallen from the block’s sixth floor on Sunday morning (December 27), Shin Min Daily News reported.

An ambulance and the police were called immediately. According to a witness, the injured teenager was still able to nod as paramedics examined him.

Police told AsiaOne that he was consciously transferred to Changi General Hospital.

The photos showed a large hole in the walkway shelter where the teen had fallen, as well as debris scattered around the area.

The teenager is believed to have jumped after his girlfriend broke up with him.

In the company of his friends, he visited the block to talk to his girlfriend.

One of them told the Chinese newspaper that the teenager’s girlfriend had asked for a breakup but he refused.

“Then they went to the stairwell on level six to talk, that’s when this tragedy happened.”

A pair of black shoes and a paper bag were left on the stair landing.

Police investigations are ongoing.
