  "account": "A Mercedes-Benz hatchback registered in Singapore was captured on video ramming into a food stall in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The incident occurred on September 27, according to footage shared on Facebook by the Community Roda Johor group.\n\nPolice in Johor Bahru learned of the report on September 28 at 2:27 am, according to the New Straits Times. A 41-year-old man reported that he was dining at a porridge stall when an intoxicated man approached him, allegedly swinging an iron pipe. The man managed to avoid the blow and alerted the police.\n\nThe suspect then allegedly got back into his car and rammed it into the stall's tables and chairs, causing panic among onlookers who fled the area. The car subsequently sped away. The Johor Bahru police are currently investigating the incident under Section 279 of the Penal Code, which pertains to reckless driving and carries penalties of up to six months in jail or a fine of up to RM2,000 (approximately S$625). Additionally, the case is being examined under Section 324/511 of the Penal Code, which addresses causing hurt through dangerous means. If convicted, the suspect could face up to 10 years in prison, a fine, or both.\n\nPolice are still searching for the suspect and have appealed to the public for any information that could help in the case.",
