PETALING JAYA: Two groups of students had a fight over a schoolgirl at a restaurant in Pandamaran, Klang, yesterday.

The incident, which went viral on social media, saw them throwing chairs at each other.

At least two individuals were seen hitting another person with a baseball bat.

Klang police chief Cha Hoong Fong said, following the incident, the police picked up eight individuals aged between 14 and 21.

“Based on preliminary investigations, they admitted to having been involved in a fight over a schoolgirl.

“There was an element of gangsterism involved when friends of both the main suspect and victim interfered in the matter,” Cha said in a statement.

All suspects were remanded for six days. Cha said two of them have previous criminal records for numerous offences.

The police also seized two baseball bats as well as several other items.

The case is being investigated under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting and Section 326 for causing grievous hurt.

Cha advised parents to monitor their children’s activities, especially after midnight, and to know the background of their friends. - FMT
