Cops probing video of man waving 'gun' and driving recklessly

Police are investigating a viral video showing a man holding an object resembling a gun and driving dangerously near Pantai Batu Buruk at about 4pm yesterday.

Kuala Terengganu district police chief Azli Mohd Noor said they received two police reports regarding the 38-second video.

“However, it is not a kidnapping case,” he said when contacted by Bernama yesterday.

The video went viral on Facebook, showing the individual holding a black object suspected to be a gun while recklessly driving a white sedan.

The driver was seen entering the opposite lane, which was moving slowly by crossing the road divider.

The video was uploaded with a caption claiming that a security guard at a school was shot in the stomach by the driver, who was said to be on the run with a child.

Undergraduate dies

In a separate case, Azli said a Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) student died after more than 18 hours of fighting for her life following an accident with an ambulance at the intersection in front of Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital (HSNZ) on Wednesday afternoon.

The victim, identified as Umie Elysha Lyana Basharuddin, 22, died at 10.38am yesterday at the HSNZ emergency ward, with the cause of death listed as a severe head injury.

The 52-year-old ambulance driver was unhurt.

Azli said the ambulance driver lodged a report regarding the accident at 6.41pm on Wednesday, and the case was investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
