For the specific case of this suspect, Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedics at scene attended to him before he was taken conscious to a hospital, the police added.

News agency Reuters reported that the gun-shaped weapon uses compressed nitrogen to fire a pair of barbed darts that are connected to the taser by thin wires.

Another risk of using a taser, as some TODAY readers have suggested, is the danger of the suspect falling down and injuring themselves after the initial shock.

"In situations where there is an imminent threat of grievous hurt or death present, officers may also have to take decisive action and deploy their firearms in order to stop the threat."

The taser is a conducted electrical weapon, or a stun device, that uses propelled wires or direct contact to conduct energy to affect sensory and motor functions of a person’s nervous system.

The darts then embed in the skin, emitting a pulsed current that causes a neuromuscular response that paralyses the subject for several seconds, so that the police will have a window to subdue the subject and apply handcuffs.

Responding to queries from TODAY on Monday (June 19), the Singapore Police Force said that the police here first used a taser in 2008.

On the Singapore Police Force’s website, it is stated that all cases involving the use of firearms and tasers are "reviewed thoroughly to ensure that they’re in accordance with the police’s doctrines and training".

For instance, during an assault involving a man slashing a woman with a chopper along Beach Road last year, the police used a taser to subdue the man after he was cornered, and the safety of police officers and bystanders were not compromised.

"It provides a ranged and less lethal force option that could reduce injuries to suspects and officers when effecting arrest without engaging in close combat through use of baton or unarmed tactics."

As to what precautions had been taken in case someone was injured from a fall after being stunned by a taser, the police said that their officers were "also trained to administer first aid whenever necessary, should a subject require any immediate medical attention".

SINGAPORE — A 31-year-old man was tasered and then arrested by the police on June 13 after he allegedly assaulted an on-duty auxiliary police officer with a metal bar.

For instance, last year, the police responded to the case of a 64-year-old man in Bendemeer who was wielding a knife. There were taser shots fired at the man, who still continued to charge at police officers with the knife.

The police said that when officers are faced with a situation where the taser is required, they will consider "a range and combination of factors".

However, the police in Singapore said in a response to news channel CNA last year that since its use of tasers in 2008, the deployment of the weapon by officers has not resulted in cardiac arrest or death.

The taser's common X26 model administers a shock of about 1.9 milliamperes, which is "well below" the 10 milliamps needed to cause a severe electric shock.
