POLICE have denied that an incident in a video clip showing a man being robbed and injured by several individuals at a train station took place in Segambut.

Sentul district police chief ACP Beh Eng Lai said the 41-second video clip titled “Segambut. Public transport at night” was in fact footage from an incident in Brazil last month. 

In a statement in Kuala Lumpur today, he said the clip was shared by irresponsible parties claiming it happened in Kuala Lumpur. 

Beh also advised the public not to easily believe or spread unverified news so as not to cause alarm in the community.

“Stern action will be taken against individuals who violate the law,” he said. 

The video clip shows a man being robbed, beaten and stabbed several times by a group of individuals as he tried to retrieve his bag. – Bernama, May 7, 2023.
