TWO men were injured after a car, driven by another man, hit them following a purported misunderstanding that occurred in a bar in Taman Molek, Johor Baru, early yesterday morning.

Seri Alam district police chief Mohd Sohaimi Ishak said they had previously viewed a video clip lasting one minute and 37 seconds, which went viral, showing the commotion and fight, which resulted in the two men being hit by the car.

Confirming receiving a report on the incident, which occurred at 5am yesterday, he said it involved two local men aged 30 and 36.

“The incident is believed to have been caused by a misunderstanding in the bar and continued outside.

“The 30-year-old man then got into a car and hit the victim as well as another 35-year-old local man who happened to be at the location. Although they were both injured, they are in stable condition,” he said in a statement tonight.

Following that, Sohaimi said police managed to detain the man believed to be involved in the incident at Jalan Persisiran, Seri Alam, Masai at 9.10pm today.

He said the suspect, whose urine test came back negative, had no previous record.

The case is being investigated as attempted murder under section 307 of the penal code. – Bernama, September 27, 2022.
