Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar has confirmed that police are investigating a woman captured in a video berating an elderly man following a fender bender involving both their cars.
“We will investigate her for road bullying.
“I, myself, have just watched the footage.
“She was so fierce, hitting there and here,” Khalid (right) said on the video which has gone viral since being uploaded on Facebook yesterday.
The video, allegedly taken in Kuantan, received over 20,000 shares in the social networking site, and was also uploaded on video sharing site YouTube, getting a further 69,400 views.
In the video, the woman can be seen screaming at an elderly man, calling him “stupid” and banging the bonnet of his car with a steering lock after he allegedly hit the back of her car, despite his repeated pleas that it was unintentional.
Netizens have been quick to condemn the woman’s action, who also allegedly made disparaging remarks against the man’s race.
Some have resorting to doxing, tracing the identity of the person they believed was the woman in the video and displaying the details online.
According to Khalid, the woman should have made a police report and not threatened the elderly citizen, as she had done.
“If an accident really happened, make a police report, do not take your own actions,” Khalid said.
“Her actions cam be considered as those of a road bully and we will take action against her,” he added.
Asked whether the police investigation is being based on a police report made by the elderly citizen, Khalid said that in such cases the police will take action based on the video recording itself.
“Regardless of whether he makes a police report, we will investigate because we have watched the video,” he said.
Before that, he distributed Hari Raya cookies to top-ranking police officers to be distributed to about 5,000 police officers who will be on duty during the Raya festivities.
