Police arrest two motorcyclists for performing dangerous stunts on Putra Bridge in Putrajaya, with investigations ongoing under the Road Transport Act 1987.
KUALA LUMPUR: Two motorcyclists were arrested by police for allegedly performing dangerous stunts along Putra Bridge in Putrajaya, following a viral video that circulated yesterday.
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said they identified one of the two motorcyclists performing dangerous stunts on high-powered motorcycles. The man, 31, later showed up at the Putrajaya police headquarters’ traffic station and confessed to performing the stunts at 12.30 am on April 19.
“Preliminary investigations also revealed that the group was at the location to create social media content and not to race,” he said in a statement today.
“Investigations are ongoing to identify the real cause of the incident. It seems that it was the first time the group gathered at the location near Putra Mosque.”
Police also arrested another motorcyclist, 33, and seized two high-powered motorcycles believed to be used for the stunts.
The case is being investigated under Section 81 of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Statements from both men have been taken and both have been released on police bail yesterday.
Authorities are still tracking down several other individuals believed to have been involved in recording the video.
