A viral video capturing a heated argument that turned physical between two individuals at a restaurant in Johor has prompted an investigation by the Malaysian Royal Police (PDRM). The incident, which took place in Stulang Laut, Johor Bahru, has garnered widespread attention on social media.
On December 8, Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat, Johor Bahru Selatan District Police Chief, confirmed that authorities are looking into the incident. He stated that while no official reports have been lodged regarding the altercation, the police are working to identify the individuals involved to uncover the circumstances and causes of the fight.
The video, initially shared by The Viral Stories on Facebook, shows the situation escalating quickly. What started as a verbal argument between a man and a woman soon turned physical. The man is seen striking the woman on the head in frustration. In response, the woman attempted to retaliate by hurling a plastic chair at him.
As tensions flared, the woman ran towards the shop counter, while onlookers intervened, trying to pacify the man. The chaotic scene has sparked public concern and a flurry of reactions online.
In light of the video's spread on social media, PDRM has urged the public not to share the footage further. They warn that continued circulation could lead to misunderstandings and unwarranted speculation, potentially disrupting community harmony.
The police are committed to resolving the matter and ensuring the incident does not escalate further. As investigations continue, they encourage individuals to come forward with any information that may assist in identifying those involved.
