Recently,
a motorcycle crashed into a car at Pasir Gudang in Johor. The motorcyclist suffered severe injuries to her head, legs and hands, while the car driver was not injured in the collision.
But later, the 18-year-old driver sustained multiple injuries to his head, cheekbones and right leg, and his nose and fingers were broken after being attacked by a mob that assumed he had crashed into the 38-year-old woman motorcyclist.
The police have opened an investigation paper under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting and using dangerous weapons to cause injuries. A 61-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the assault and three more assailants are being sought.
