Petrol stations are usually where people fill tanks, pump tyres and grab snacks for a road trip.
They are not where anyone expects to become the subject of a viral assault video.
A video involving a YouTuber being assaulted by two unidentified men at a petrol station in Bandar Sri Damansara has gone viral on social media. Did such an incident really happen?
Verdict:
TRUE
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Shamsudin Mamat has confirmed that a local man, who is a YouTuber and local football commentator, was injured after he was allegedly assaulted by two unidentified men at a petrol station near Bandar Sri Damansara.
He said the incident occurred at 7.56pm on Saturday (July 11) when the victim was inflating his vehicle’s tyres before he was approached by two men on a motorcycle.
