Without so much as a shred of clothing on her body, a 48-year-old woman planted herself on a road on Tuesday morning and prevented a van from moving off by using her naked body and holding up both arms to block the vehicle.

A man later gave her some clothes to put on, but she later shook them off and even slid under the same van to lie down in front of the wheels, according to Shin Min Daily News

Everything in this case screams “YISHUN“, but alas, this outlandish incident took place at Bendemeer Road. 

On a more serious note though, it seems that she’s sadly suffering from a mental issue — enough to have police arrest her under the Mental Health Act. 

A witness who spoke to Shin Min stated that the police took 10 minutes to speak to the woman before she finally put her clothes back on and went with the authorities. 

Just another day in Yishun.
