Man arrested after injuring student in school compound hit-and-run

An unemployed man was arrested after injuring a 13-year-old student in a hit-and-run accident in the compound of a secondary school in Taman Bintang, Pantai Remis, yesterday.

Manjung district police chief Hasbullah Abd Rahman said the 47-year-old suspect was arrested the same day along with a white Myvi car.

“At 6.24pm on Oct 23, police received a report about a Myvi being driven dangerously, which resulted in an accident involving a school student.

“The incident occurred at about 5.30pm, when the suspect’s vehicle crashed into the gate of a basketball court, causing it to collapse,” he said in a statement today.

Hasbullah added that the suspect then drove towards a secondary school, entered the school grounds, and headed towards the hall, hitting a female student who was practising volleyball.

The suspect fled the school premises, while the victim, who suffered an injury to her left leg, was admitted to Seri Manjung Hospital.

Hasbullah said that after his arrest, the suspect was referred to the same hospital for further treatment due to his unstable mental condition.

“The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder. Members of the public with information can contact investigating officer Nur Munawara Ahmad at 011-1624 0391 or the Manjung district police headquarters operations room at 05-688 6222 to assist with the investigation,” he said.
