Robbery Suspect Nabbed in Klang After Brazen Escape That Injured Cop 

‎SHAH ALAM, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- A 34-year-old man with a long criminal record was arrested early today following a brazen escape that injured a policeman during a failed arrest attempt at a petrol station in Klang yesterday.

North Klang district police Chief ACP Ramli Kasa said the suspect, linked to a robbery in Subang Jaya, resisted arrest at around 2.30 pm at a petrol station along Persiaran Raja Muda Musa.

“He pushed the policeman, fled in his car, collided with a police vehicle, and nearly ran over the policeman’s leg before abandoning the vehicle,” Ramli said in a statement. 

The suspect was eventually apprehended at 12.45 am in Bandar Bukit Tinggi. Police records show he has 20 previous criminal convictions and five drug-related records.

Investigations are ongoing into his possible involvement in other crimes, Ramli said. 

The injured policeman was treated at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang, he added.
