Sometimes good deeds come with unexpected risks, and one of those is when the person being helped turns on the person aiding them in what they thought was a time of need.
Recently, a video went viral online of a fight in Butterworth, Penang along with the claim that the brawl was sparked when a good Samaritan was attacked by the motorcyclist he was helping following a road accident.
Is this true?
Verdict:
TRUE
In a statement on Saturday (Aug 16), Seberang Perai Utara OCPD Asst Comm Anuar Abdul Rahman confirmed this, saying that a local man lodged a report at the Butterworth police station.
“Investigations found that the incident occurred when the complainant tried to help a motorcyclist who was involved in a road accident.
As the man was trying to help the motorcyclist, the latter suddenly got up and punched him before some passers-by joined in the fight,” he said in a statement.
He said the case was being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting.
Anuar urged anyone with information to contact the investigation officer, Sjn Muhammad Adib Ikmal Sukri, at 04-576 2222 (ext. 2275) or any nearby police station.
