MELAKA: Melaka police are investigating a video where an individual dressed as a children's TV series character is seen punching another man.
"We will investigate whether the video being shared on social media is genuine," said Melaka Tengah OCPD Asst Comm Christopher Patit on Tuesday (May 14), adding that no report had been lodged so far.
He said that the 34-second video was shot near a shopping complex in the city.
The clip shows someone wearing a red costume hitting a man seated on the pavement next to another man in a wheelchair.
The person in the costume then claims the other man hit him in the stomach first.
People donning full-body costumes are a familiar sight in areas popular with tourists.
Dressed as superheroes and cartoon figures, they charge tourists a fee to take a picture with them.
