According to PKR organKeadilan Daily Online, Anwar was unhurt in the incident.
Sembrong is the parliamentary seat held by Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, who is son of former prime minister Hussein Onn and cousin of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Over the past weeks, Anwar has been making forays into traditionally BN strongholds in the rural heartland ahead of a general election.
Last Monday, Anwar’s visit to Felda Ghafar Baba, Machap in Alor Gajah was marred byrowdy Umno supporters out to disrupt his ceramah.
On Friday, a roadblock was erected at Najib's hometown in Pekan, resulting in Anwar having to ride a motorbike to beat the 5km-long traffic jam in order to get to the ceramah venue.
Johor PKR is expected to lodge a police report over yesterday’s incident.
