Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Sazalee Adam said the accused, 28-year-old Shannon Anne-Ooi, has been ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation at Hospital Bahagia in Ulu Kinta, Perak, as she is suspected of having mental health issues.

Earlier, a video circulated online showing members of the public restraining her after she allegedly brandished a knife during the festival, before police arrived last Saturday night, 2 May.
