Sometimes, people do bad things and get away with them. Fortunately, that is not always the case, as proven by this man who was caught red-handed bullying other road users.
Recently, a lorry driver believed to be a road bully was arrested after he was caught on video threatening another lorry driver with a knife.
The suspect in his 40s was arrested around 12.25 midnight last night.
North Klang District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner S. Vijaya Rao said the arrest was made following a police report by a lorry driver in his 30s at about 5.15pm yesterday.
Stopped by the bully
He said, during the incident, the truck driven by the victim was intercepted and held up by another truck driven by the suspect.
“The suspect is said to have got off the truck with a knife and proceeded to threaten the victim.”
The suspect allegedly said, “You don’t know who I am yet. Wait till I come to find you.”
In a statement released today, he said that the reason for the incident was more akin to a road bully.
The bully suspect
He added that a record check found that the suspect had a previous record related to motorcycle theft, but a urine test found the suspect negative for drugs.
Vijaya asserted that his party had obtained a three-day remand against the suspect, and the case is now being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
Earlier, a 31-second video of the incident recorded by other road users had gone viral on WhatsApp. It shows the action of a man pointing a weapon believed to be a knife at a truck driver.
