A four-year-old boy was hurt after a glass door at Westgate mall in Jurong East reportedly fell on top of him.

The glass door — about 3m high — had detached and fell on top of the boy just before 6pm today (Aug 7). This was just outside of NTUC’s My First Skool childcare centre and a Fitness First gym, leading to the outdoor area on Level 5.

The boy’s entire body was pinned down by the door, and that he was lying facedown. The boy’s right cheek appeared to be bruised. There were also traces of blood on the ground.



“Because the glass door is tempered glass, it shattered within,” said Mr Paul, a passerby. He says two staff members from the nearby Westgate Kids Club brought a first aid kit to tend to the boy, and a doctor from a clinic one level down came up to assist as well.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirms it received a call on the incident at 6.05pm, and says the boy suffered a cut to the back of his head and reported having neck pains.

He was sent conscious to the National University Hospital.
