M'sia man, 37, arrested after S'porean man slashed with parang in Johor

A 37-year-old man in Malaysia was arrested after a Singaporean man was injured following an attack at a home in Kluang, Johor on Jan. 31.

According to The Star, the incident occurred at around 5:50am in Kampung Tengah, involving two male suspects who had harassed a family and damaged their cars.

Broke into house, smashed cars, slashed man

In a Facebook video shared on Feb. 1, one man wearing a long-sleeved shirt was seen standing in front of two vehicles while seemingly recording them and holding on to a parang.

Another man shortly charged forward from behind him and started smashing the rear windscreen and window of one car, before a man wearing a t-shirt and shorts could be seen lunging at him.

One woman and one man also appeared to ward off the two men.

The five of them entered a scuffle, before one of the suspects was subdued on the ground.

Another video under the post, presumably shared by the victim, showed close-ups of the family's damaged vehicles.

One pick-up truck had its front windscreen and driver's seat window smashed while the other car's rear windscreen and passenger seat window were destroyed.

Local man arrested, two more suspects at large

Kluang Police Assistant Commissioner Bahrin Mohd Noh said that local police had arrested one man at the scene at 6:10am, The Star reported.

He was previously convicted for five drug-related offences and two other criminal offences.

Bahrin said that the man had tested positive for methamphetamine.

According to New Straits Times (NST), the man is remanded until Feb. 3.

Two more suspects are still at large, including the man who smashed the car and another believed to be a lookout in a getaway vehicle.

According to Bahrin, the motive for the attack is being investigated.

The police has urged anyone with information to contact the nearest police station or Kluang district headquarters at (60) 07-7784222 or their hotline at (60) 07-7766822.
