According to Sin Chew Daily, the unnamed assailant apparently threatened the shop clerk, asking her if she remembers the Low Yat incident before attacking her.
The customer came in with a cracked mobile phone screen and was told by the shopkeeper that the repair would cost him RM130.
He then negotiated with the shopkeeper, offering to pay RM50 as an upfront instead, for which she refused and he started attacking her.
The incident happened at one of the shopping malls in Padang Merdeka, Kuching.
Kuching police district chief, ACP Roslan Bek Ahmad stressed that the public should not liken this incident to the controversial one that occured last July at the Low Yat Plaza in Kuala Lumpur
The authorities have gathered the details of the man involved in the incident and the case is being investigated under Section 506 and 323 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and causing hurt
