LIVING with neighbours isn't always smooth sailing, as some people just do not get along with each other.
Recently, a video went viral online and it is claimed that it is of a fight between neighbours at a Johor apartment.
Did this actually happen as claimed?
VERDICT:
TRUE
Johor Baru North OCPD Asst Comm Balveer Singh confirmed that the incident happened at an apartment in Tampoi on Friday (July 14).
"On Sunday (July 16), we detected a viral video in social media showing a fight between neighbors at an apartment in Tampoi. Upon further checks, we found that two police reports have been filed on Friday (July 14) by both parties involved,” he said.
"We have recorded statements by the two individuals involved as well as other witnesses, who are also living at the apartment," added ACP Balveer in a statement on Monday (July 17).
He said that the incident is being investigated under Section 324, Section 160 and Section 427 of the Penal Code.
"We urge the public not to sensationalise this incident,” said ACP Balveer.
He also urged those with information on the incident to channel information to investigating officer Inspector Shazril Salim at 016-3425316 to assist in investigation.
Earlier, a two-minute minute video made the rounds on social media where a man was seen using a wooden object to hit the grille of a door of an apartment unit.
A shouting match could also be heard from the video among the individuals involved.
It was, however, unclear what the fight was about.
