SINGAPORE - Nine men who flung objects at a man allegedly hacking his estranged wife with a chopper in Beach Road were on Monday commended by the police for helping the bloodied woman fend off her attacker.

The attacker ran off when things were thrown at him. Mr Wei and eight other men, comprising kitchen staff at nearby restaurants and contractors working nearby, then banded together to shield Ms Han before the police arrived at the scene at around 5.30pm.One woman, Madam To Lee Kwee, was also commended on Monday for calling the police. She was among several people who alerted the police to the incident.

Commander of the Central Police Division Jeremy Ang, who presented the awards, said the individuals acted selflessly to help the woman. "Their actions, which included shouting and throwing objects at the man to distract and disorientate him, helped to mitigate further harm caused towards the woman."
