KOTA KINABALU: A man has been arrested in the Tawau district for allegedly threatening a woman after she reprimanded him for entering her house without permission to ask for food.
The incident occurred on Wednesday (Nov 5), in Kg Serudong Laut, where the 35-year-old foreign labourer entered the woman’s home uninvited to request food.
When the woman scolded him for his uninvited entry, he became angry and allegedly threatened to harm her and her child, who was also at home at the time.
Concerned for her and her child's safety, the woman went to the Wallace Bay police station to file a report.
Tawau OCPD Asst Comm Jasmin Hussin stated that the man was later apprehended, and a knife believed to be linked to the threat was confiscated.
ACP Jasmin mentioned that the man was being investigated for criminal intimidation and violations under the Immigration Act.
