Four men have been remanded for three days to assist police investigations following an alleged assault and chase near a traffic light junction along Jalan Ling Kai Cheng in Sibu, Sarawak, which reportedly resulted in multiple vehicles colliding.
The incident took place at around 12.13pm on November 3, when three men allegedly attacked another man near the traffic lights.
The victim reportedly fled from the scene but was chased by the suspects, triggering a series of vehicle collisions during the pursuit.
Footage of the crashes later circulated on social media, showing several cars caught up in the incident and drawing widespread attention.
Police subsequently launched an investigation and arrested four men suspected of being involved.
The suspects were brought before a magistrate’s court on Wednesday (November 4), where police obtained approval to remand them for three days to facilitate further investigations.
Authorities have yet to disclose the motive behind the alleged confrontation, the identities of those involved or whether anyone was injured.
As the incident unfolded at a busy traffic junction, the alleged chase also raised concerns about the safety of other motorists caught in the chaos.
Members of the public are advised to avoid getting involved in similar confrontations or pursuits and contact the police for assistance instead.
