A man seen assaulting a retiree in a viral video following a minor road accident at the Pekan Suntex traffic lights at Batu 9, Cheras, yesterday will be charged in court tomorrow, police said.

Kajang police chief Naazron Yusof said the 52-year-old trader will be charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt, and Section 506 of the same law for criminal intimidation.

“The suspect will be charged at the Kajang magistrates’ court at 8.30am tomorrow,” he said in a statement

Earlier today, Naazron said police received a report from the 69-year-old victim at about 4.50pm yesterday.

The suspect was arrested at about 11.30pm in the Kajang area and was remanded for two days.

He said an initial investigation found that the case stemmed from a minor accident involving the cars driven by the complainant and the suspect.

A viral video of the incident showed a man kicking and hitting an elderly man sitting in a car, apparently claiming that he had tried to flee after the collision.
