Bekas calon PRU15 ditahan disyaki tolak warga emas jatuh longkang
Kejadian berlaku di Taman OUG pada Jumaat lepas menyebabkan mangsa, 79, cedera pada belakang kepala, tangan kiri serta belakang badan.
CCTV footage captured an incident at Taman OUG on Friday, showing a woman refusing to let an elderly woman pass, causing her to fall into a ditch in front of several shops. The victim, a 79-year-old former Selangor badminton player, suffered injuries to her head, left arm, and back. The senior police officer in charge, Hoo Chang Hook, said the initial investigation found the victim entered a tailor shop before realizing the suspect, also a former independent candidate during PRU15, was approaching her.
After leaving the shop a few minutes later, the suspect allegedly blocked the victim's path, causing her to fall into the ditch. The suspect was initially uncooperative and could not provide a reasonable explanation for his actions. The suspect is now being held at IPD Brickfields, with a psychiatrist's assessment to aid the investigation.
The woman was later taken to the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) by her son for further psychiatric treatment and was released on Monday. The case is being investigated under Section 325 of the Penal Code due to the intentional causing of serious injury. Police are awaiting a full medical report from specialists before referring the case to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for charging guidelines.
