KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 — Police are looking for 20 men in connection with a clash between two groups in Jalan Radin Bagus, Sri Petaling here early Monday.

Brickfields district police chief ACP Amihizam Abdul Shukor said several vehicles parked by the roadside were damaged after being hit by iron rods and liquor bottles used in the brawl.

“Police received a report from a victim about his damaged car, with the rear windscreen and right side of back window smashed.

“The victim and his friends were then eating in a restaurant in the location of the fight,” he said in a statement today.
