KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- Police have arrested nine individuals, including six underage boys, over a road bullying case involving a group of motorcyclists and a Perodua Myvi driver near the Batu 13 Toll Plaza, Puchong, early Sunday.
Serdang police chief ACP Muhamad Farid Ahmad said the suspects, aged 13 to 21, were detained around Puchong and Shah Alam on Sunday and yesterday, with three motorcycles seized.
All the suspects were remanded for four days until Friday after being brought before the Petaling Jaya Magistrate’s Court this morning, he said in a statement.
A 52-year-old security guard lodged a report at 10.04 pm on Sunday over the incident, which occurred about 4 am the same day when the victim and a friend stopped near the toll plaza to make a phone call.
“The victim drove off without responding when asked if they were police officers, but was later chased by the motorcyclists, who demanded he stop. His car was also kicked, causing damage,” he said.
The case is being investigated under Sections 279 and 427 of the Penal Code.
Muhamad Farid urged the public to drive responsibly and report criminal activities to the police.
A video of the incident has since gone viral on Facebook, showing the victim’s car being surrounded by about 20 motorcyclists, with one rider seen punching the driver’s side window and kicking the door, forcing the victim to slow down.
