JOHOR BARU: Two men, believed to be drunk, have been arrested after one of them spewed vulgarities at police personnel in an incident on Jalan Persiaran Mutiara Mas, Mutiara Rini in Iskandar Puteri.
Iskandar Puteri district police chief Asst Comm Rahmat Ariffin said a report was received from the public that a car was parked in the middle of the road at 8.30am on Thursday (May 25).
He said personnel from a mobile patrol vehicle carried out an inspection and found two men, in their 30s, sleeping in the car.
