The teacher was held at knife point by the two robbers, whom she described as young and ruthless, as they attempted to rob before she was rescued by two passers-by.

Wong Ying Shin said she was walking to her car in Taman Danau Kota, Setapak, at about 1am when one of the robbers grabbed her from behind while his accomplice threatened her with a knife and asked for her valuables.

“I was shocked and told them I only had RM10 with me but they refused to let me go,” she said.

Wong said the two suspects started molesting her and when she started screaming, they assaulted her.

“They went insane and punched me in the face. I did not know what to do and continued shouting for help,” she said.

The suspects, believed to be teenagers from neighbouring areas, fled on foot when two pedestrians in the area were alerted to her screams and rushed to her aid.

One of the passers-by tried to chase the suspects but was unsuccessful.

She was sent to hospital by the passers-by and received treatment for trauma to her eyes and 12 stitches on her forehead. She then lodged a police report.
