A man was spotted at a shopping mall in Penang allegedly attempting to fake road accidents by lunging onto the front of moving vehicles.
According to a post by Penang Kini, the man reportedly dashed out and lay across a car bonnet in what appeared to be an attempt to extort money from drivers.
The incident occurred at a parking lot and has sparked concern among the public.
Public urged to report immediately
The original post advised drivers to immediately lodge a police report if faced with a similar situation.
Several netizens commented that installing a dashcam is essential for protecting oneself in such encounters.
The post has since received over 1,300 likes and a wave of reactions from social media users, many of whom expressed disbelief and concern.
‘If this happens, please press the horn for a long time. Also, a dashcam is a must—old car or new, install one for your safety.’
‘I’ve seen this kind of behaviour in TikTok and Facebook videos, but only in other countries. Looks like this ‘virus’ has spread here too.’
‘Scary to meet someone like this… I’m afraid I’ll go crazy before he does.’
‘So weird. Try honking and see if he can tolerate or not.’
