Police shoot at car after couple allegedly try to ram traffic officers, detained within 24 hours

A police officer in Kulai, Malaysia, was shot at when a couple allegedly attempted to ram a police motorcycle and hit officers during an incident in Jalan Kenari, Bandar Putra. The incident occurred at around 1:20 am when the district police headquarters' Motorcycle Patrol Unit stopped a suspicious black Perodua Myvi, finding a local man and woman inside.

The suspects became aggressive and tried to flee by ramming the URB motorcycle and a public vehicle, as well as attempting to hit the police officers. In response, the URB personnel fired one shot at the tyre of the suspects' vehicle to defend themselves and stop it. One URB officer sustained minor injuries to his leg after becoming trapped when the police motorcycle was struck by the suspects' vehicle.

Both suspects were arrested within 24 hours, with the male suspect in Bandar Putra and the female suspect in Kluang. The case is being investigated under various sections of the Penal Code, and the suspects will be brought before the Johor Bahru Magistrates' Court for a remand application.
