SIBU: A father and his son were arrested here for allegedly threatening five people and swinging a meat cleaver at them, says Sibu OCPD Asst Comm Zulkipli Suhaili.
He said that the 69-year-old father and his 33-year-old son were detained five hours after the incident which happened at 11.30am on Saturday at the Jalan Bukit Assek commercial centre.
ACP Zulkipli also said that a video of the incident had gone viral, adding that it shows a man swinging a meat cleaver at a group of about five people."The incident happened because the elderly man was angry with the noise from a car audio system that was being tested at a car accessory shop about 10 meters from his home," said ACP Zulkipli.
He added that a verbal argument began between the elder suspect and customers at the shop, and said that his son then joined in."No one was injured in the accident. Acting on a police report by a 30-year old man at 2pm, a police team went to the suspects' home to arrest them," he said, adding that the meat cleaver has also been seized.
