A man from China not only caused a four-vehicle collision but also tried to enter a stranger's car before he was dragged on the road for several metres
Police said the man, who was arrested early on Sunday morning, 17 April, was believed to have crossed the road and caused the accident at Kilometer 35 of Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2) near Jalan Imbi, reported Harian Metro.
The man was detained for further investigations after he claimed he was threatened by members of the public at the scene of the accident.
The 23-second video that has gone viral shows the aftermath of the multi-vehicle collision and the moment the Chinese man is dragged away by a Perodua Myvi.

Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement chief ACP Sarifudin Mohd Salleh said the accident involved a Proton Exora, Toyota Vios, and two motorcycles of Yamaha and Kawasaki makes.
He explained that the man crossing the road had caused the driver of the Proton Exora to suddenly brake while driving in the middle lane.
At the same time, the Toyota Vios driver who came from behind managed to stop his vehicle. However, a motorcyclist could not dodge the static vehicle and hit the back of the car before crashing into the back of the Exora.
Preliminary investigations also showed that another motorcyclist also did not manage to dodge the vehicles and collided with the Yamaha motorcycle in the right lane.
Both motorcyclists were injured with one of them breaking his left leg.
The case is being investigated under Section 43 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
