Based on a report by Sarawak Voice, Sibu District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner (ACP) Zulkipli Suhaili shared that the suspect was arrested at his home at Jalan Sukun on the same day.

“The police received a complaint from a 37-year-old man who claimed that his car had been hit by an unknown suspect at the scene of the incident,” he said.
Additionally, upon raiding the suspect’s house and arresting him, they also seized a machete the suspect used during the attack.
In the videos showcased, the suspect could be seen driving his car against traffic, directly at the victim’s vehicle before dangerously swerving to block the victim’s way. The suspect then swung the machete at the victim’s vehicle through his open window as the victim moved his car and drove away.
