Gombak: Two men travelling in a Nissan Grand Livina were arrested at Jalan Sungai Pusu, Gombak, after fleeing a police check at Persiaran Dagang, Sri Damansara, last night. Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Shamsudin Mamat said the suspects, in their 50s, had refused to stop for a police inspection at 11.57 pm and fled by driving dangerously.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the suspects were later traced to Jalan Sungai Pusu, about 18 km away, and subsequently arrested. The police revealed that the men had earlier acted aggressively by reversing their car into a police vehicle before making their escape. During the pursuit, they also collided with two parked public vehicles by the roadside.
