Technician nabbed after throwing stone at car during road rage incident
Police say the suspect was unhappy after claiming the complainant’s vehicle had boxed in his motorcycle.
A technician riding a motorcycle has been arrested for allegedly throwing a stone at another car during a road rage incident on the Sungai Besi-KL-Seremban highway overnight. The incident reportedly occurred around 2pm yesterday, when the suspect hurled a stone that shattered the rear windscreen of the targeted vehicle. Cheras police chief Rosdi Daud announced the arrest of the suspect, believed to be in his mid-30s, at Jalan Suasa 3 in Sungai Besi around 1.15am today.
According to Rosdi, the altercation likely stemmed from a misunderstanding; the technician claimed the complainant's vehicle forced his motorcycle into an awkward position. The technician has been held for three days pending further investigation under Section 427 of the Penal Code, which outlines the offense of mischief and stipulates penalties ranging from one to five years in jail, a fine, or both upon conviction.
