Cheras police chief Assistant Commissioner Chong Kok Sin confirmed the remand order which will end on Sept 29.
The four-minute video showed the man clad in a a striped shirt, accompanied by an older female companion, screaming furiously at two uniformed men believed to be Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL) officers.
