A 49-year-old man has been arrested for assaulting a police officer after the latter tried to stop him from battering a woman, who is believed to be his wife
According to New Straits Times, the incident happened at the Sungai Way Impian Baiduri apartments in Petaling Jaya on Wednesday, 11 November.
The man was said to be "running amok" and hitting his wife at about 5pm. Police officers rushed to the location after receiving a distress call on the disturbance from the members of the public.
When the police arrived at the scene, the man started hurling foul words at the police personnel, before proceeding to use a piece of wood to club a police officer and strangling him.
"A struggle ensued when the man acted aggressively by attacking and strangling the police personnel, who suffered light injuries," said Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal
Following the attack, other police officers at the scene managed to subdue the assailant.
Bernama reported that the man will be remanded for four days and the case will be investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code for intentionally causing injury by using a weapon or other dangerous object.
If convicted, the man may face imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine, whipping, or two of such punishments.
