KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 — Four local men who were believed to have attacked two secondary school students during a scuffle in front of a school in Sungai Long, Kajang, last week were detained by police in Ampang yesterday.
Kajang police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said the suspects, aged between 18 and 21, were detained after receiving a police report at 3.04pm on Thursday (March 14).
During the incident, the two students, aged 16 and 17, were assaulted by a gang of 10 men armed with PVC pipes and iron rods, who escaped in two vehicles following the attack.
“The victims later received treatment at the Kajang Hospital for injuries to their head and body. The suspects will be remanded until Friday (March 22) for investigations,” he said in a statement today.
Zaid said the police are currently tracking down the rest of the gang members involved in the attack.
“Members of the public with information about the incident can contact the nearest police station or contact investigating officer Inspector Mu’az Mazlan at 017-9788804,” he said.
Earlier, a 16-second video went viral on Facebook over the incident, which occurred after the morning school session.
