Arau police chief Ahmad Mohsin Rodi says the suspect was with four friends when he threw the stone at the train near Kampung Jelempok.
A 14-year-old teenager has been arrested for allegedly throwing a stone at a Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) train, causing damage to a window on one of its coaches, according to Sinar Harian. The incident occurred on Thursday near the motorcycle bridge in Kampung Jelempok, while a KTM Komuter Utara train was traveling between Arau and Kodiang.
The affected coach was cleared and access restricted at the Bukit Tengah depot for safety reasons before being taken out of service for window replacement. Police found that the boy had admitted to the act during preliminary investigations. Arau police chief Ahmad Mohsin Rodi stated that the boy had no prior criminal record and is currently held at the Kangar police station to aid in the investigation.
The case is being prosecuted under Section 427 of the Penal Code, which governs mischief causing damage, with potential penalties of up to five years in prison, a fine, or both upon conviction.
