Police officers opened fire five times after their patrol car was rammed by a Proton Perdana at Lorong Air Putih 130 in Kuantan, Pahang today.
Kuantan police chief ACP Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu said the incident happened when two police officers on Op Sarang duty tried to stop a car at around midnight.
However, when the police presence was noticed, the driver sped off but came to a dead-end at Lorong Air Putih 130.
“Desperate to escape, the driver reversed the vehicle and crashed into the patrol car several times.
"Police fired two warning shots in the air and ordered the suspect to stop the vehicle but were ignored, forcing them to fire three more shots at the front left tyre of the car," he said when contacted today.
However, the suspect managed to escape and abandoned the vehicle about 400m from the scene, he said.
The patrol car was damaged but the police officers did not suffer any injuries.
Wan Zahari added that upon inspecting the suspect's car, they found several documents with the name Shaizul Aziram, 46, with their last known address at Taman Seri Muda, Shah Alam, Selangor, and also Abdullah Fahmi bin Salleh @ Muhammad, 36, whose address was in Kampung Genting, Tumpat, Kelantan.
He said the two were required to report to the Criminal Investigation Division of the Kuantan District Police Headquarters (IPD) or contact the Kuantan IPD police hotline at 09-5652222 to assist in investigations under Section 186/307 of the Penal Code.
