SUBANG JAYA: The suspect in a viral road rage incident at the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) toll plaza, in which a traffic cone was thrown, has surrendered to police.
He will be charged at the magistrate's court tomorrow.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said the 35-year-old local man from Kuala Lumpur turned himself in at the Subang Jaya district police headquarters at about 11am today and is currently being held in police custody.
"The suspect will be charged under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act at 9 am tomorrow," he said in a statement today.
He said investigations found the incident was triggered by a misunderstanding when the suspect attempted to enter the Touch 'n Go lane and nearly collided with another vehicle.
He said the owner of the other vehicle, a 54-year-old male foreigner driving a purple Perodua Myvi, came forward to lodge a police report at about 11.20am on Feb 9 after recording the incident using a dashboard camera.
The case is an update to an earlier police appeal after a video showing a red Perodua Axia driver allegedly throwing a traffic cone and shouting insults during heavy congestion at the LDP toll plaza went viral on social media.
Police had earlier opened investigations under Section 427 of the Penal Code (mischief), Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act, and Section 48(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. - NST
