Two men suffered injuries after they were attacked in a road rage incident recently
Facebook user Jimmy Soo turned to social media to look for a group of men who were responsible in attacking him and his brother following a hit-and-run accident.
In his post, Jimmy said that the incident occurred in front of a shoplot at Kuchai Avenue in Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur on 10 February.
According to him, a Proton Saga BLM bearing the numberplate WTP 5263 made a u-turn and hit the front end of his car. The car did not stop and went ahead on its way, even after Jimmy honked twice.
"Right at that moment, my brother came out from one of the shops and we decided to chase down the car with the intention to reason with the driver," he wrote in the Facebook post.
Things took a violent turn when both cars stopped at a junction as the traffic light turned red
In a dashboard camera footage shared by Jimmy, a passenger from the suspect's car can be seen exiting the Proton Saga. The man approached the driver's seat and retrieved something that appears to be a pocketknife.
Jimmy's brother had gone out of their car to inspect it for damages and in a matter of a few seconds, the passenger who exited the Proton Saga earlier can be seen shoving Jimmy's brother before both of them they went out of the camera frame.
Another man dressed in a white shirt emerged from the Proton Saga at the same time, and followed them. There was also another man dressed in a dark blue shirt also came down from the car and appeared to look on at the commotion.
"The rest of the people in that car came down right after but didn't do anything to stop the attacker and I, too, rushed out in (an) attempt to stop the attack but to no avail," Jimmy explained.
It was learned that the man had stabbed Jimmy's brother in his inner thigh
"My brother fell to the side of the road and (he was) stabbed by the attacker.
"I was not spared either, the attacker came around blowing punches my to face. While I attempted to reason with them, he smashed my spectacle and caused the injuries shown," he said.
Following the incident, Jimmy's brother required four stitches in the hospital while receiving treatment.
Meanwhile, another video of the incident has also surfaced on social media
It is believed that the video was filmed on a smartphone by a passer-by who was right behind the two vehicles when the incident happened.
In the video, the same man, who was seen holding what appears to be a pocketknife in Jimmy's video, can be seen throwing punches at another man before kicking the victim when he fell to the ground.
Jimmy lodged a police report on the incident on the same day
In his Facebook post, he urged members of the public to be on the lookout for the men in the video. He also appealed to those with information on the incident to come forward.
