Cops arrest man in road rage video

GEORGE TOWN: The police have arrested a man today after a short video clip of an altercation following an accident in Bayan Lepas had gone viral on social media.
The video showed a woman, who works as a bank's customer service officer, demanding a motorcyclist to follow her to a police station to lodge a report after they were involved in an accident.
The man reacted by scolding the pregnant lady and damaging her car.
Passers-by and other motorists in the area were shocked by the man's abusive behaviour.
The scenes recorded by a camera showed the man attacking the woman's car with a hammer and a helmet during the 8.42am incident.
The man was said to have fled the scene after damaging the vehicle while the victim lodged a police report at a nearby police station.
The woman's car window was damaged and the amount of losses is yet to be determined.
Southwest district police chief ACP A. Anbalagan said the 31-year-old man was caught shortly after the incident.
"He has been tested positive in urine (for methamphetamine) and the case has been classified for committing mischief under the Penal Code," he added.
