According to Kuantan District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu, the altercation stemmed from the victim's failure to pay for the burgers he had ordered on Sunday, leaving the burger seller dissatisfied.
This dissatisfaction escalated into a brawl in front of the burger stall located at Batu Tiga, Jalan Gambang-Kuantan. The seller, along with two accomplices, physically assaulted the victim, resulting in severe injuries.
"The victim subsequently reported the incident at the police station on Tuesday," Wan Mohd Zahari confirmed.
Screenshots and images of the incident surfaced on a Facebook page, sparking outrage among netizens.
Wan Mohd Zahari revealed that, based on recorded conversations, the victim couldn't confirm whether all three assailants participated in the assault. However, one individual distinctly used physical force against him.
He further noted the absence of verbal threats or weapon usage during the attack. The victim, despite being assaulted, did not retaliate against the perpetrators.
The case has been classified under Section 323 of the Penal Code, pertaining to causing injuries.
