PETALING JAYA:
Police arrested five men, including a foreigner, earlier today, following a brawl outside a popular fast-food joint in Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, on Sunday.

Dang Wangi police chief Noor Dellhan Yahaya said the brawl erupted after the foreigner allegedly harassed the outlet’s female restaurant manager.

The five, aged between 20 and 33, have been remanded for four days beginning today.

They are being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting.

A 16-second clip of the incident, which took place at about 8.30pm, has since gone viral on social media.

The clip showed four men in red uniforms trading blows with a man before others intervened.
