PETALING JAYA:

 Police have arrested six Pakistani nationals for suspected involvement in a brawl in front of a sundry shop at Kampung Kubambang in Sandakan, Sabah, yesterday.

Beluran police chief Hasan Majid said the incident occurred at about 4pm, when a group of men met another Pakistani national along the five-foot way in front of a sundry shop.

“An argument broke out and turned into a brawl, resulting in the victim suffering a head injury, requiring seven stitches,” Sinar Harian reported him as saying today.

He said police detained the six men after a video of the brawl went viral.

The 29-second video showed a group of men fighting, using wooden objects to beat the victim.

An application to remand them will be made tomorrow to facilitate the investigation under Section 148 of the Penal Code for armed rioting. - FMT
