The Johor police are searching for two men caught on video brawling at the Causeway on Feb. 14.

Johor Bahru Southern Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat said investigations are underway to identify those who are involved, as well as witnesses, and establish the cause of the altercation, Malaysian media New Straits Times (NST) reported.

NST also reported that the two men are Malaysian drivers.

Brawl briefly disrupted traffic

A one-minute video documenting the incident showed two men alighting from their multi-purpose vehicles and engaging in a verbal altercation, which then escalated into a physical fight.

A man in a black shirt was seen raining punches on another man in a lighter-coloured shirt.

The former was later seen attempting a chokehold on the latter.

Other road users could be seen running over and attempting to break up the fight.

According to NST, the brawl briefly disrupted traffic.

Selamat urged those with relevant information to contact the Malaysian police hotline (+60)7 2182323 to assist in the investigation.
