SINGAPORE: Malaysian police on Thursday (Jul 14) arrested two people involved in a road rage incident near the Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ) at the Tuas Second Link last week.
A video of the incident, widely circulated over the weekend, shows a woman pushing against a black car in slow-moving traffic, before ripping off the front licence plate and throwing it at the windscreen.
A man later gets off a Singapore-registered red Kia car and runs toward the victim’s vehicle, making offensive gestures.
Johor police said a woman and a Singaporean man involved in a case of mischief were arrested on Thursday night at the immigration checkpoint on the Malaysian side of the Second Link. The police did not state the nationality of the woman.
“Both suspects admitted to being involved in the case,” Iskandar Puteri district police chief Rahmat Ariffin said in a statement issued in Malay on Friday.
“The suspects were believed to be unsatisfied when their vehicle was blocked and scraped when the incident happened.”
Assistant Commissioner of Police Rahmat said on Sunday that the driver of the black Toyota Alphard was not injured and there was minor damage to the car.
He added that the victim was returning to Singapore from residential development Forest City in Johor when the incident happened.
