A dispute over a stall space turned violent outside a cafe in Desa Tun Razak, Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur, leaving nine people under arrest.
The incident, involving eight men and a woman, reportedly broke out at around 11pm yesterday following a misunderstanding over the use of a stall space in the area.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus said police arrested all nine suspects, aged between 16 and 44, at the scene.
“Two of them are the main suspects,” he said in a statement.
Police checks revealed that most of those arrested had previous records involving criminal and drug-related offences.
Several items believed to have been used during the altercation were also seized.
The case is being investigated under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting while armed with a weapon.
