However, no one was reported injured in the 5pm incident.

Dang Wangi District Police chief ACP Shaharuddin Abdullah said a team of policemen were rushed to the scene after they were alerted to the incident.

“Initial checks revealed that five vehicles being parked at a parking area near the construction site were badly damaged,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

Meanwhile, a witness, Ramli Bakar, 57, said he heard a loud bang when the incident occurred.

“I was on my way home when I passed by the area... the crane tilted before it fell onto the cars.

“It was very loud and in fact, you could feel the ground vibrate. Then, passers-by started to congregate in the area. Thank God no one was injured,” he said. — BERNAMA
