KUALA LUMPUR: Police have arrested another 12 individuals over a street brawl between two rival factions of tow truck drivers at Kampung Malaysia Tambahan recently.
Cheras OCPD Asst Comm Zam Halim Jamaluddin said the 12 men, aged between 20 and 35 years old, are suspected of being involved in the brawl.
"They were arrested around the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday (Oct 4) evening.
"We have obtained a three-day remand order on these suspects to assist with further investigations," he said when contacted on Thursday (Oct 5).
It was initially reported that police detained eight suspects believed to have been involved in a fight using weapons at Kampung Malaysia Tambahan on Monday (Oct 2) morning.
The suspects, all local men aged between 22 and 44 years old, were detained at locations around the Klang Valley at 11.15am on Monday (Oct 2).
The public informed the Cheras police headquarters control room about the fight, which started at 1.37am after an argument broke out between the two tow truck groups about who was eligible to tow away a victim’s vehicle.
