PAPAR, June 9 — A JOHOR BAHRU, June 9 — A 40-year-old Singaporean man was arrested following a road rage incident and alleged vandalism involving another vehicle in the Tun Aminah area of Skudai yesterday.
Johor Bahru Utara police chief ACP Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh said the arrest was made by the district’s Criminal Investigation Division at around 6.20pm on June 8, following a police report lodged by a 31-year-old local man at 3.01pm.
According to the complainant, the incident occurred at 2.39pm while he was driving his BMW.
