Melaka Tengah district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit, said that during the 12.15am incident, the 28-year-old suspect, who was driving a Perodua Myvi, was dissatisfied when the victim, who was riding a motorcycle, had honked at him for making a sudden U-turn from the opposite direction, which nearly caused an accident.
"The 24-year-old victim, a mechanic, was heading towards Bandar Melaka from Ayer Keroh, and continued riding his Yamaha NVX as the traffic light turned green.
"The suspect, who was driving from Bandar Melaka, made a sudden U-turn and the victim managed to brake and avoid colliding with the suspect's car," he said in a statement yesterday (April 28).
He said the victim, who was surprised by the suspect's action, honked and shouted ('hoi') to him before the suspect ordered the victim to stop by the roadside in front of Melaka Mall.
He added that the victim then stopped and approached the suspect, who then scolded him as soon as he got out of his car, before grabbing the victim by the neck from behind and pointing a gun at his head.
The incident resulted in a scuffle between the two before the victim managed to grab the weapon and the suspect fled in his car.
Christopher said the suspect was arrested with the help of the public, and checks found that the suspect has several previous records related to drugs.
The suspect is also currently undergoing police surveillance under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act for two years, beginning November 1, 2021.
"An air pistol with six bullets was seized to facilitate further investigations," he said, adding that the suspect has been remanded for six days, beginning yesterday (April 28), and the case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code.
