KUALA LUMPUR: Police deny that an incident in a video clip showing a man being robbed and injured by several individuals at a train station took place in Segambut.
Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Beh Eng Lai said the 41-second video clip titled "Segambut. Public transport at night” was in fact footage from an incident in Brazil last month.
In a statement here Saturday (May 6), he said the clip has been shared by irresponsible parties claiming it happened in Kuala Lumpur.
ACP Beh also advised the public not to easily believe or spread unverified news so as not to cause alarm among the community.
"Stern action will be taken against individuals who violate the law,” he said.
The video clip shows a man being robbed by a group of individuals and beaten and stabbed several times as the victim tried to retrieve his bag. - Bernama
