The assault took place at a petrol station in Bagan Ajam, Penang, earlier today.
Seberang Perai Utara police chief Asri Shafie said the men, aged 16-24 were nabbed after video clips of the assault went viral.
He said one of the suspects had a criminal record.
“Initial investigations revealed that the incident occurred after the victim revved his motorcycle during a religious procession on purpose,” the police statement said.
A three-second video clip featured a group of men kicking and punching someone, while another clip showed a group of men confronting each other before a brawl broke out.
A third clip showed a teenager with blood streaking down his face, as his friends attempted to calm him down.
Asri urged those with information on the case to call the investigating officer, Nazri Wan Chik, at 014-319 0131.
