SUNGAI PETANI, Oct 29 — Police have arrested a 35-year-old man over a viral video showing him allegedly driving recklessly in a red multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) bearing the word ‘Bomba’.
Kuala Muda police chief ACP Hanyan Ramlan said investigations found that the man had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder nine years ago but was believed to have discontinued treatment about two years ago.
“Police received a report on Tuesday following the video’s circulation. The man was arrested in Bandar Puteri Jaya, where the vehicle and several other items were seized,” he told reporters at the Kuala Muda district police headquarters here today.
Hanyan said the man owned the MPV, held a valid driving licence and had no previous criminal record. His urine screening test was negative.
