KUALA LUMPUR – Police arrested two men for allegedly assaulting a senior citizen during a road crash involving three vehicles at a traffic-light intersection in Taman Pelangi Semenyih 2, Kajang, here, last Thursday.
Kajang district police chief Mohd Zaid Hassan said the two men, aged 26 and 43, were arrested at about 3.30am today.
He said police arrested the two men following a report lodged by the 63-year-old man.
“In the incident, a car driven by the elderly man crashed into a van, which was carrying several students. A woman was at the wheel of the van.
“Subsequently, several unknown men approached the senior citizen and two of them beat him up, resulting in his suffering injuries on the abdomen, forehead and body,” he said in a statement today.
According to Zaid, the senior citizen was beaten up for allegedly driving at a high speed and not stopping at the red light, causing him to hit the school van.
He said two men would be on remand until Monday for investigation under Sections 323 and 506 of the Penal Code.
