KUALA LUMPUR: Police have identified six men who allegedly assaulted a man at Jalan Metro Perdana Taman Usahawan in Kepong yesterday.
Sentul district police chief ACP Beh Eng Lai said the 9.50pm incident was due to a misunderstanding over a double-parking incident, resulting in an altercation in front of a restaurant.
"While the victim and his wife were having dinner at the restaurant, three men believed to be under the influence of alcohol assaulted the victim after accusing him of blocking their car.
"One of the men strangled the victim, before calling three others. The victim immediately got into his car out of fear for his safety," he said in a statement.
Beh said as the victim got into the car, one of the suspects threatened to hit him with a steering lock, causing him to be in a state of panic that he hit another car. – BERNAMA
