SHAH ALAM: Isolated cases of mischief and violence by rowdy Malaysians marred the Sea Games football match semi-final between Malaysia and Indonesia on Saturday night.
Shah Alam police chief ACP Shafien Mamat said an Indonesian fan had alleged that he was assaulted by a group at a bus stop near Persiaran Sukan at about 4am today.
He said the 30-year-old man who was with several friends was waiting for a bus to return home when a group of Malaysian fans showed up and created a ruckus.
Feeling intimidated, the victim fled the scene but was chased and assaulted by the group.
Shafien said the victim who was punched and suffered light injuries was taken to the Shah Alam Hospital where he received outpatient treatment.
In an earlier case,Shafien said police received a report of firecrackers being set off at the Malaysian fans seating area during the match at the Shah Alam stadium.
He said the act was serious as it involved the safety of the stadium and those present.
Shafien said a hunt for the culprits behind both cases is ongoing.
He urged those with information on them to contact the police and advised the public to refrain from making speculations on the cases.
