KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — The man seen holding what appeared to be a pistol while pursuing a car in a viral video along Jalan Sultan Salahuddin here is believed to be a police officer involved in a special anti-drug operation on Saturday.
According to Berita Harian (BH), Dang Wangi district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Azwan Amin Nordin said the incident occurred at about 6.30pm when a team from the Dang Wangi District Police Headquarters Narcotics Criminal Investigation Division spotted a suspicious black Honda Accord.
He said officers approached the vehicle for inspection, but the driver allegedly sped off recklessly and collided with a blue Honda City in an attempt to escape.
Police managed to track down the vehicle again at about 6.40pm at the Jalan Sultan Salahuddin intersection before giving chase. Two men then exited the Honda Accord and fled the scene.
