Sixteen-year-old convicted of armed rioting in Singapore MRT assault sparked by misunderstood allegation
SINGAPORE, June 11 — A 16-year-old boy has been convicted of rioting while armed with a deadly weapon, following an incident at Buona Vista MRT station involving a group assault over a mistaken allegation. According to The Straits Times, the court heard that the teenager, along with five others aged between 13 and 17, confronted a 17-year-old boy on the night of September 1, 2024, believing he had harmed one of their friends. It was later established that the allegation was unfounded. The group met the victim at about 11pm and accompanied him to a secluded section of the nearby rail corridor. There, some members of the group physically assaulted the victim. During the incident, the 16-year-old brandished a 9cm flick knife and issued a verbal threat. One individual filmed part of the encounter. The victim sustained minor injuries, including facial lacerations, bruising and abrasions, and made a police report the following day. On Monday, the court called for a report to assess the offender's suitability for reformative training — a rehabilitation-focused sentencing option that includes structured discipline, counselling and education. The teenager, who cannot be named due to a court order, was convicted on March 24 and remains in remand. Sentencing is scheduled for July 17.

Moment neighbour from hell armed with a samurai sword, axe, and spear, smashes people's doors and windows before dressing in scuba gear for police arrest
A man found armed with a samurai sword, an axe, and a spear smashed through his neighbours doors and windows on a crazed rampage. Security cameras saw Michael Hockey, 55, dressed in scuba gear after he armed himself to mount a siege at his block of flats in Pontypool, South Wales before setting fire to his own house. Police were called after Hockey barricaded himself inside the building and when they arrived he was found in scuba-diving gear and breathing apparatus as he held a spear. Armed officers and a negotiator were called to the siege and when they cut the power to his flat he shouted 'b*****s' at them. The court heard Hockey caused £31,000 of damage during the two hour stand-off. He has now been jailed for two years and six months. When officers and firefighters eventually entered Hockey was found in a bath full of water - and had to be tased and blasted with a water hose before his arrest. Prosecutor Tom Roberts said in the days leading up to the police siege, Hockey had been 'behaving erratically' and 'playing loud music.' He said: 'He had been ranting and raving and making threats against a neighbour. 'The defendant screamed that he was a traitor and said he was going to tear his face off and kill him.' He added: 'He was described as snarling like a dog and said he was going to shoot him with a bow and arrow.' Mr Roberts said Hockey then began hitting his neighbour's front door with an axe. 'The victim, who has Asperger's, was terrified and was struggling to make sense of what was happening,' he said. 'He thought he was going to get into his flat and kill him.' Hockey was sectioned under the Mental Health Act following the incident at the apartments owned by housing association Melin Homes on August 15, 2023. He said he had been watching TV 'when Tarot card readers began communicating with him.' After the arrest, officers found that Hockey had been growing 11 cannabis flats in his apartment - and also found a whip, a bow and arrow and an old police truncheon. Hockey admitted arson reckless as to whether life was endangered, affray, cultivating cannabis and criminal damage at Newport Crown Court. Alice Sykes, defending, said the event that day might have been triggered by a psychotic episode brought on by his cannabis use. She added that Hockey had shown 'genuine remorse'. Judge Matthew Porter-Bryant said it was lucky that no one had been injured or killed and commended the emergency services for their actions. 'Thankfully, only time and money was lost here,' he added.
