Ex-GE15 candidate nabbed for allegedly pushing senior citizen into drain
However, the former independent candidate denies she pushed the victim, an ex-Selangor hockey player.
A former candidate in the 2015 general election was arrested on Friday for allegedly pushing an elderly woman into a drain, according to police in Brickfields. The incident occurred around 10:30 am near Taman OUG, after the victim, a 79-year-old former Selangor hockey player, exited a shop. The suspect, who was not acquainted with the victim, suddenly shoved her, causing her to fall into the drain and sustaining injuries to her back, left arm, and the back of her head.
CCTV footage captured the event and the victim's friend reported the incident to the police, leading to the arrest of the suspect later that same day. The suspect did not admit to pushing the woman into the drain and did not offer a reasonable explanation, and the police have ordered a psychiatric assessment and treatment for the suspect. The case involves allegations of voluntarily causing hurt.
