TAPAH: The Tapah Magistrate's Court sentenced a man who assaulted a female driver in an incident in Lata Iskandar, which went viral last Monday, to seven days in prison.

He was charged under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt.
The accused could be sentenced on Friday (June 9) to imprisonment for up to seven years, or a fine or both for the first offence, and imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to RM2,000 or both for the second offence.
