Suzilme was seen with visible cuts and bleeding on his face as a result of the scuffle.
The operation is part of a court-ordered process to demolish structures in the area.
Police urged residents to disperse, and Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel were placed on standby
Media personnel were barred from entering the site, reported the New Straits Times.
According to Berita Harian, some residents had gathered since last night to show solidarity with neighbours affected by the eviction.

Authorities maintain that the demolition is necessary to proceed with the project, despite opposition from a minority of residents.
