PUBLISHED ONJanuary 30, 2025 3:07 AMBySyarifah NadhirahThe Malaysian police have launched a probe after two vehicles were caught ramming into a group of people along Old Klang Road in Kuala Lumpur in a video circulating online.
In the video, a white pickup truck can be seen ploughing into a crowd outside a nightclub with a silver car following close behind and knocking at least one pedestrian down.
Following this, both vehicles reportedly made a U-turn, driving against traffic in an attempt to hit the same group.
In a media statement, Brickfields police department assistant police commissioner Mashariman Mahmood confirmed that a 24-year-old male witness lodged a report over the incident which happened on Jan 29, reported The Star.
"The vehicles hit a group of men, resulting in approximately two people being injured, with one victim taken to the hospital by ambulance," he said.
According to New Straits Times, the witness said a Toyota Hilux pickup and Toyota Vios sedan exited a carpark before being recklessly driven outside Top Plus Club.
The case is being investigated as attempted murder under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years and a fine upon conviction.
The police urged those with more information regarding the incident to come forward.
