Verdict:

Police are looking into a fight between two motorists at a traffic light junction along Persiaran Batu Nilam in Bukit Tinggi, Klang, last Thursday (Sept 11).
Bernama reported that South Klang deputy OCPD Supt Kamalariffin Aman Shah said they received a report from a man, 39, at 4.52pm the same day, alleging that another man had injured him following a road rage incident at about 1.13pm.
He said the complainant had stopped behind another car at the traffic light when the car in front suddenly reversed and collided with the complainant’s car.
“After that, a man and a woman exited their car, and an argument erupted in front of the complainant’s vehicle. The man grabbed the complainant by the neck, resulting in a scuffle between them until passersby intervened,” he said in a statement.
He added that the complainant sustained minor injuries to his legs, hands, and neck and was subsequently treated at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital, Klang.
Supt Kamalariffin urged those with information regarding the incident to come forward to the nearest police station or contact the South Klang district police headquarters at 03-33762222 to assist the investigation.
The case is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code for causing injury, which carries a penalty of up to one year’s imprisonment and a fine.
