Teluk Intan: Police are on the lookout for the driver of a grey Ford Ranger four-wheel drive who is suspected to have deliberately crashed into a car in an incident at Taman Manggis, near Teluk Intan, on Feb 14. Hilir Perak district police chief ACP Ahmad Adnan Basri said a report regarding the incident was received at 4pm through a man who was also the victim, aged in his 30s.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the suspect has been identified as a 42-year-old man, believed to have intentionally hit the victim’s Honda Civic twice from the front to stop him. In the second collision, the suspect managed to stop the victim’s car and attempted to exit his vehicle, but the victim managed to escape the scene and later lodged a police report.

Earlier, a 53-second video showing a four-wheel drive vehicle deliberately crashing into a car went viral on social media platforms. Ahmad Adnan said the case was being investigated under Sections 506 and 427 of the Penal Code as well as Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 (Rule 10 LN 166/59).

He mentioned that the incident is believed to be connected to a police report filed by an elderly man on Oct 22 regarding threats received from the suspect related to a business conducted between the two parties five years ago. The suspect allegedly threatened the elderly man through a piece of paper distributed via a drone. It is understood that the senior citizen and the victim are business associates.

Ahmad Adnan urged the public with information related to the incident to contact the Hilir Perak District Police Headquarters (IPD) at 05-6299222.
