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, last Thursday, said district police chief Mohd Zaid Hassan, adding the two men, aged 26 and 43, were arrested at about 3.30am today.

He said police arrested them following a report lodged by the 63-year-old victim.

“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 him 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 did not stop at a red light, causing him to hit the school van.

He said two men would be on remand until Monday for investigation under section 323 and section 506 of the Penal Code.
