Johor cops nab road rage suspect

JOHOR BARU (Bernama): Police detained a man believed to have been involved in a road rage incident that took place along Jalan Johor Jaya on Nov 8.

Seri Alam district police chief Supt Ismail Dollah said acting on the information received on the alleged road rage incident, police detained the man, aged 27, on Sunday (Nov 10) at around noon in Permas Jaya to assist with the investigation.

"A 26-year-old woman lodged a police report at the Johor Jaya police station Seri Alam district police headquarters (IPD) on Friday, who claimed she was driving along Jalan Johor Jaya at about 8.30am on Nov 8 when a car overtook her car before stopping abruptly.

"A man got down from the car before he approached and scolded the victim while taking pictures of her using his mobile phone," he said in a statement.

The man was detained under Section 506/509 of the Penal Code to facilitate the investigation.

The four-minute, 28-seconds video clip showing the man alighted from his car after blocking the woman's car in the middle of the road while scolding her has since gone viral on Facebook.

In the video, the woman, believed to be pregnant, was also heard crying in fear.

The man then took a picture of the victim before giving her a rude gesture and driving off. – Bernama
