KUALA SELANGOR: Two rival groups suspecting each other of being police informants most likely led to the street brawl in Taman Melor, Bestari Jaya recently.
Kuala Selangor OCPD Supt Ramli Kasa said police were now looking for the remaining suspects in the case.
"We have already arrested six suspects and have identified several others. It is just a matter of time before we arrest (them)," he told reporters at police headquarters here on Wednesday (Sept 7).
He said following the incident, police went to the scene and found a pickup truck with blood on it by the side of the road.

"This led us to believe that the groups were armed with sharp weapons," he said.
He added that investigations found the riot was sparked by two rival groups suspecting the other of giving information to the police.
"Further checks revealed that none of them were actually police informants.
"Our investigations also found that none of those involved were part of a secret society," he said.
It was reported that six men were arrested in connection with a street brawl at Taman Melor in Kampung Kuantan here.
Supt Ramli was quoted as saying they were alerted to the brawl at around 6.15pm on Sunday (Sept 4).
The case was classified as rioting and causing grievous hurt with dangerous weapons.
A 34-second video of the incident was circulated on social media and WhatsApp.
The video shows a group of men armed with weapons and objects walking towards vehicles parked at the Taman Melor intersection.
One of the men hits a white pickup truck with an object as it drives off.
The truck then rams a car and people are heard screaming in the background.
Another man is then seen hitting the car with an object several times before it speeds off.
Those with information on the case are urged to contact Insp Nur Fatmaliani Mohamed at 013-6716 313 or the Selangor police hotline at 03-2052 9999.
