JOHOR BARU: A nanny who is currently facing child abuse charges in court is being investigated over allegations of abusing yet another child, this time a seven-month-old baby.
Johor Baru North OCPD Asst Comm Balveer Singh said a report was lodged against the 34-year-old suspect by the victim’s mother at about 4.30pm on Friday.
“The victim’s mother brought him to the Sultanah Aminah hospital for treatment on Thursday.
“There were bruises on the victim’s body. He is now stable and in hospital for observation,” he said in a statement here yesterday.
He added that the woman was arrested on Friday at her house in Johor Baru.
“Upon questioning, the woman denied the allegations. The suspect had previously been charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 for abusing another child in 2021. The case is still on trial,” he said.
In an unrelated case, Iskandar Puteri OCPD Asst Comm Rahmat Ariffin said the police are investigating a viral video where a motorcyclist was seen attacking a lorry driver with a helmet.
“The incident was believed to have happened at about 6.10am on Wednesday at the Tanjung Kupang toll, heading towards Singapore.
“The incident was believed to have happened when the lorry driver reprimanded the suspect for using the lorry lane.
The man then attacked the driver and later left the scene after being pulled away by a woman, believed to be his wife,” he said.
