  "account": "Policing authorities are on the lookout for the driver of a Perodua Aruz who allegedly assaulted the driver of a Ferrari during a violent altercation on the North-South Expressway near Nilai. This incident, which unfolded around 11 a.m. on a recent Tuesday, has captured public attention after a video of the brawl went viral on social media platforms.\n\nNilai district police chief Johari Yahya confirmed that a report was filed by one of the drivers involved at 6:40 p.m. The confrontation, which occurred on the outer lanes of the highway, involved two men in their thirties who were stopped in their vehicles. Footage shows the Aruz driver and the Ferrari driver grappling with each other, with two motorcyclists intervening and separating the pair. A woman is also seen restraining one of the drivers during the exchange.\n\nPreliminary investigations revealed that the dispute originated from a disagreement between the two individuals regarding their driving habits. According to Johari, the Aruz driver is suspected of physically assaulting the Ferrari driver, causing him to fall from the vehicle. Moreover, the Aruz driver allegedly made threatening statements towards his counterpart. The police are actively pursuing leads to locate the Aruz driver responsible for the assault.\n\nThe case is being treated as an offense of voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation. Johari urged anyone with relevant information about the incident to come forward and contact the Nilai police or the nearest police station to assist with the investigation.",
