KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 — The police have arrested two men for allegedly assaulting a senior citizen during a road crash involving three vehicles at a traffic light intersection in Taman Pelangi Semenyih 2, Kajang, on Thursday (January 11).
Kajang district police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said the duo, aged 26 and 43, were arrested at about 3.30am today.
The arrests come after a report lodged by the 63-year-old victim.
"In the incident, a car driven by the elderly man crashed into a van, which was carrying several students. A woman was at the wheel of the van.
“Subsequently, several unknown men approached the senior citizen, and two of them beat him up, resulting in him suffering injuries on the abdomen, forehead, and body," he said in a statement today.
Zaid said the senior citizen was beaten up for allegedly driving at a high speed and not stopping at a red light, which caused him to hit the school van.
The two men will be on remand until Monday (January 15) for investigation under Section 323 and Section 506 of the Penal Code.
A 39-second video on the incident went viral yesterday.
