THERE seems to be a new breed of criminals now. They are a group of delinquent youths who board a commuter train and look for coaches with only a few passengers. They then hassle the defenceless passengers before robbing them of their money and valuables. This daring act happened in a KTM Komuter train near the Setia Jaya station to a mother and her daughter. The group of young hooligans approached them and demanded their cash and valuables.

The traumatised victims were rescued by a foreigner from Chennai, India, whom they called Angel. Though outnumbered, he fought the gang, taking down one as the rest fled at the next station.
