TW: Blood, violence
A disturbing video clip has taken the internet by storm since Thursday evening, depicting a distressing scene in front of the Menara Kinabalu building. In what appears to be a highly unsettling incident, a man is seen wielding an axe, raising serious concerns among viewers.
The video, spanning 1 minute and 20 seconds, captures the unsettling moment when a man relentlessly strikes the leg of another man who is confined within a vehicle. The victim, seated in the driver's seat, is visibly unable to defend himself from the successive blows, creating an alarming spectacle that has left many in shock.
The gravity of the situation escalates as the footage unfolds. A woman is observed in the front passenger seat, shouting and screaming while helplessly witnessing the scene which further intensified the incident. The assailant's actions raise numerous questions, leaving viewers puzzled and concerned for the safety of those involved.
As the incident unfolds, the man takes his aggression to a new level. He proceeds to shatter the windows of both the front and back passenger compartments of the vehicle.
Adding to the intrigue and urgency of the situation, the man then attempts to forcefully open the vehicle's door. The motive behind this action is presumably to remove the woman from the vehicle, although the reasons behind this aggressive move remain unclear.
Claims have emerged from individuals who claim to be familiar with the victims and suspects involved. According to individuals who claim to be acquainted with the individuals captured in the video, the suspect involved in the aggressive act is believed to be the woman's ex-husband. These sources have also alleged that jealousy might be at the heart of the matter, speculating that the woman is currently in a relationship with another man.
