KUALA LUMPUR: A man was assaulted by three others for allegedly "staring" at another man who was believed to be drunk, while eating at a restaurant in Jalan Besar Kepong.
The assault, seen in a viral video from closed-circuit television cameras posted recently, lasted several minutes.
The victim was sitting at a table in the restaurant when a man who appeared to be drunk walked up to him and assaulted him.
The culprit was soon joined by two others who at first tried to stop their friend, but appeared to join in after a while.
The victim was punched, kicked and hit with various objects, including chairs and a kettle.
While the main suspect continued to assault the victim, his two friends later tried to calm him down, allowing the victim to flee.
