LABUAN: A 26-year-old sustained injuries after he was allegedly punched several times in the head by a road bully along Jalan Patau-Patau, Labuan, on April 12.

The incident went viral in social media and a police report was purportedly lodged by the victim. A 22-year-old suspect was detained.

The victim claimed to have confronted another motorist for failing to signal while entering a junction.

This prompted the other to attack him.

Labuan police when contacted said the case has been probed and considered solved as the assailant has been identified. No further information were provided by them.

In 2021, a man in Kota Kinabalu lost seven teeth and sustained multiple injuries including facial bones fracture after he was beaten up by a Filipino following a road rage incident at Jalan Kolam.

In 2020, a taxi driver was not only punched but had his vehicle damaged after reprimanding a man who stopped his motorcycle near Jalan Pekan Kota Belud.
