Police officers and auxiliary officers were forced to tackle down an individual at Changi Airport last night. An onlooker, Tan Ivy, shared videos of the incident that happened at around 12.45am.
Initially, two police officers and two auxillary officers tried to get the individual to obey orders. The man became uncooperative and started to aggressively resist them.

Soon after, there were four other police officers surrounding the man, five of whom tackled him down. One of the police officers was seen striking the man with a baton, after he was down.
The moment where the officer struck the man with his baton can be seen here:

It is not known why the man was being uncooperative, or why he was called out by the officers.
Comments on both videos by netizens were a mixed of admiration and doubt. While some cheered for the final success of the officers, a few questioned the use of force against a suspect who is already pinned down.
Dennis Goh wrote, “Good job SPF, so many keyboard warriors, doesn’t matter how many officers is needed to take down one guy, as Long as they did their job, and they got head home safely to their love one. Side note, it’s never easy to take down one that is violent”. 
Erik Min, on the other hand, had an opposing view, “Did one of them just swipe his night stick at the guy? Why is he holding onto his night stick anyway”.
Other netizens also had differing views:

柔佛王储上载好友合照 吁新马寻双赢方案

“在我左边的,是来自新加坡特别部队的毕孟星,照顾我的个人安全九年;在我右边是马来西亚特种部队军官山沙瓦中校,….我们三人都是好友,在相同领域合作共事。” 柔佛王储东姑伊斯迈昨日在脸书上载的图文,恐怕会令许多为新马争议争吵不休的人士蒙羞。 他上传一张与毕孟星及山沙瓦的合照,两人扣手,而王储居中。 王储介绍,在图中自己就站在新加坡和马来西亚之间,但三人都是好朋友,其中山沙瓦也是他的军校同学,为他效劳了三年。 他呼吁新马两国在近期争议上,都能找到双赢方案,共存共荣,不应纠缠于一些无谓的事件。 王储的贴文一日内就获得近万人按赞,获分享786次。 一些网民赞扬柔佛王储的观点。洪荣强认为,新马两国在经济上的协作更为有利,特别是我国在伊斯干达项目的投资也不少;长提两岸都有我们的亲人和朋友,如果一再挑起课题只会造成不信任,更需要谨慎维持双边关系。
