TASEK GELUGOR: Police have detained a man for allegedly threatening and knocking into a motorcyclist at a petrol station here yesterday.
Seberang Prai Utara district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Asri Shafie said the 29-year-old unemployed man was picked up in Tasek Gelugor here about 2pm.
"I can confirm that we have taken the suspect into custody based on intelligence and tip off.
"We will produce him for remand to assist in investigation into the case," he said.
The incident, which was caught on video, has since gone viral on social media.
A 27-second video footage showed a motorcyclist being threatened and knocked into by the car driver at a petrol station here.
The motorcyclist lodged a police report yesterday.
Initial investigations revealed the victim had ticked off the car driver for overtaking without turning on the indicator lights.
This resulted in the suspect being dissatisfied and had used his car to knock into the motorcycle.
The case is investigated under Section 427 and Section 506 of the Penal Code.
