Masseuse Siti Satuyah heard a loud crash on Thursday evening from inside the spa where she worked, and spun around to see a woman rolling off the back of a BMW parked at the spa's doorstep and onto the road, her face bloodied.

Horrified, Ms Satuyah, 34, ran out and carried the injured woman indoors as other onlookers frantically called the police and emergency services.

Neighbours later told The Straits Times that the woman was a tenant in the apartment right above the spa, located along a row of shophouses in Bukit Timah Road, near Sixth Avenue.

She appeared to have fallen from her second-storey balcony onto the BMW parked beneath, smashing the rear windshield.

Here are more details from Stomp:

A young woman fell from the second floor balcony at Bukit Timah onto her BMW parked below while trying to retrieve her mobile phone.

According to evening daily Lianhe Wanbao, the 24-year-old woman, Ms Li, had been trying to retrieve her phone from the balcony when she fell at around 5.15pm on Thursday at Bukit Timah Road, near Sixth Avenue.

The Chinese daily reported that she suffered fractures to her right shoulder and feet.

Ms Li's male partner had rushed downstairs after the fall and accompanied her to the hospital.

Lianhe Wanbao reported that Ms Li is a permanent resident and is in hospital for observation in the general ward of the National University Hospital.

In a statement, the police said they received a call on Thursday at 5.17pm requesting assistance at 783, Bukit Timah Road. They found an injured Chinese woman in her 20s who was taken semi- conscious to the National University Hospital.
