Men chased, car damaged after Melaka-Negri Sembilan match
MELAKA: Two men had a terrifying ordeal when their car was kicked, rammed and damaged by a group of unidentified men after they watched a Super League match at Hang Jebat Stadium here last night.
Two men experienced a frightening ordeal after their car was kicked, rammed, and damaged by a group of unidentified men near Hang Jebat Stadium in Melaka last night, following the conclusion of a Super League match between Melaka FC and Negri Sembilan FC. The incident unfolded around 10:48pm when the 22-year-old victim and his friend were en route back to Seremban after the match.
Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Halim Abas of Melaka Tengah district revealed that the incident commenced when an unknown man approached the red Toyota Vios from the right and kicked it as the victim left the stadium car park. Dressed in a black shirt and blue denim trousers, the suspect then pursued the victim, accompanied by several motorcyclists, before inflicting damage to the rear of the car.
The victim subsequently halted in front of a restaurant, but another assailant, clad in a green long-sleeved shirt and black trousers, struck the bonnet with his hand, as stated in a police statement. Despite attempting to flee, the suspects continued to pursue the victim, ultimately smashing the rear windscreen with a motorcycle helmet.
When the victim halted in front of a clinic in Krubong, the attackers persisted in their assault and damage to the vehicle before he was able to escape and file a report at the Tanjung Minyak police station. Ongoing investigations are taking place, and the case is being examined under Sections 506 and 427 of the Penal Code. The motive behind the incident remains under investigation, while police are conducting intelligence operations to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
