A viral 73-second video clip circulating on the Threads platform, which depicted an individual pursuing a sedan with a handgun at a red-light intersection, involved an undercover law enforcement officer conducting a special narcotics operation.
Dang Wangi district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Azwan Amin Nordin confirmed that the incident transpired during a localised anti-drug deployment known as Op Tapis Khas.
Personnel from the district police headquarters’ Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) spotted a suspicious black Honda Accord and moved to intercept the vehicle for a standard inspection.
The driver refused to comply with police orders, accelerating recklessly and striking a civilian blue Honda City to breach the initial police perimeter. Authorities tracked the fleeing vehicle 10 minutes later to a junction along Jalan Sultan Salahuddin, where the undercover officer attempted a tactical foot interception.
