DUNGUN: A samurai sword has been recovered by police from one of the suspects involved in a clash between two families at a housing estate in Paka recently.
District police chief Superintendent Baharudin Abdullah said that the woman surrended the weapon at the Paka police station at 4pm today.
The clash had gone viral on social media via a 1.34-minute video on Facebook, two days ago and police had questioned several people believed to have been involved in it.
Baharudin said police were investigating the woman under Section 7 of the Corrosives, Explosive Substances and Scheduled weapons Act 1958.
He added that the clash had boiled over following an earlier brawl between children of the two families, leading to the intervention of their parents.
The two family members then had a heated exchange and one of them had threatened to use the samurai sword.
The video was uploaded by an onlooker and received negative reactions from netizens who lambasted the culprits for their shameful act.
