Lorry driver attacked for reversing into Mercedes Benz
Police looking for a group of men who mercilessly attacked lorry driver after minor traffic incident.
The incident was captured on video and the footage has gone viral on social media.
The two-minute clip showed the lorry driver being attacked by a man in a green shirt before four others came and started to kick him on the face and body while he lay on the ground.
The incident occurred after a lorry driver backed into a Mercedez Benz belonging to a “Datuk”.
Ampang Jaya police chief Hamzah Alias said the 25-year-old victim and his partner were at the condominium to make a delivery at the mini market and had parked the lorry at the drop off area.
Some 20 minutes later, a Mercedes Benz drove up and parked behind the lorry.
Hamzah said the lorry driver after delivering the goods had reversed and accidentally hit the Mercedez Benz.
“An argument ensued between the lorry driver and the car driver which then escalated into a fight,” said Hamzah, adding that four unidentified men then came and started to assault the lorry driver.
A police report was lodged by the condominium security guard.
Hamzah said the suspects are being investigated for rioting.
“It was a mere misunderstanding. Both parties want to settle the matter among themselves but since the incident occurred in a public area, we have to step in and investigate the case,” Hamzah added.
