A 24-year-old foreigner has been arrested after allegedly crashing into three motorcycles and attacking bystanders with a knife in Kajang on Wednesday, 13 August
According to the New Straits Times, Kajang district police chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof said the incident happened about 11.58am when the woman drove into three motorcycles at a traffic light junction near a shopping mall.
"The suspect then exited the vehicle and attacked those nearby with a knife.
"With the help of passers-by, the suspect was subdued and handed over to police. Two knives were seized during the arrest," he said.
Videos circulating on social media show a woman exiting her car barefoot after the crash and chasing road users while brandishing a knife. She is later overpowered by members of the public, who seize her weapon, as she repeatedly shouts "I hate Malaysia" in Mandarin.
Naazron said six locals aged between 21 and 60 were injured
Two of the victims have been hospitalised for further treatment, while four others were treated as outpatients.
The three motorcycles involved were reported to be damaged.
The suspect is currently in remand to assist investigations
The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder, as well as Section 279 of the Penal Code and Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving.
