JOHOR BARU, June 5 — Police yesterday arrested the parang-wielding road bully whose uncalled for rage was captured recently on a car’s dashcam in Simpang Renggam.
The 31-year-old suspect was arrested after a brief tussle with policemen at a house in Taman Seri Mewah 3 in Simpang Renggam.
He was arrested together with three other male suspects by a special investigation team from the Johor police’s serious crimes division (D9).
Police also found the blue Honda Civic that was used by the suspects in the road rage incident that took place at the Pasir Gudang Highway on Monday.
Investigators also seized a white Nissan Grand Livina, two parangs and several mobile phones from the suspects during the 5.30pm raid.
A source told Malay Mail that all four suspects, aged between 26 and 40, were on the police wanted list for a spate of armed robberies and cheating cases in the state.
“The arrest by the police team was made after investigators closely studied the video and identified him as a wanted person.
“Initial investigations also showed that that the suspects used a cloned registration number on the blue Honda Civic that was featured in the viral video,” said the source.
The source said the main suspect, who had threatened the motorist with a parang and made obscene gestures, had a total of seven previous cases for theft, robbery and drug abuse.
“The other suspects have similar previous records for robbery, drugs and also criminal intimidation.
“All suspects are also wanted for a spate of luxury car thefts and robberies in Permas Jaya, Larkin, Senai, Kulai, Bukit Indah, Pekan Nenas and also Bandar Dato Onn,” said the source.
In a statement today, Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Khalil Kader Mohd confirmed the arrest and said police are still looking for another male suspect.
With the arrests, Mohd Khalil said police have also solved 11 robbery cases in the Johor Baru district.

JOHOR BARU, June 4 — State police are tracking down two men recorded confronting a following motorist with a parang and damaging the victim’s car along the Pasir Gudang Highway here yesterday.
Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Khalil Kader Mohd said police viewed the matter seriously, before disclosing that the Johor Baru South district police were investigating the incident based on a victim’s report.
“The victim himself, whose car mirror was hit with a machete, lodged a police report yesterday,” said Mohd Khalil regarding the incident that has gone viral online after dashcam footage of the confrontation was published on YouTube.
It was learnt that the victim lodged his report at the Larkin police station under the Johor Baru South district over the matter yesterday. Details on the suspect’s vehicle, including a video footage were also provided to investigators.
Mohd Khalil, who was on a pre-Hari Raya city walkabout in Larkin Sentral here, said investigations are underway and efforts were ongoing to track down the suspects.
He said the incident was believed to have been caused by the suspect’s dissatisfaction at not being given room to merge into the victim’s lane.
“We (police) are confident that we will track down and arrest the suspects soon,” said Mohd Khalil.
In the one-minute and 23-second video, a motorist was seen being threatened by two men in a Pahang-registered blue Honda Civic twice during a traffic congestion along the Pasir Gudang Highway.
The video’s timestamp shows it was recorded at 5.53pm yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: After a road bully was jailed a year for using his helmetto smash a car windscreen, another driver has been caught on dashcam swinging a parang against a car in moving traffic, presumably in a red mist of road rage.
A one-minute, 23-second clip sans audio, which is making the rounds on Facebook, shows a heated scene between the occupants of a blue Honda Civic and the victim of the bully, who is off-camera.
Initially, the driver and passenger of the Honda exited the vehicle, shouting and making obscene gestures, then returning to their car and driving away.
However, after driving for a few seconds, the driver of the Honda stopped abruptly.
The clip, which was shared by Nabeel Naqie II on Facebook Tuesday (June 4), has triggered outrage, with many calling for action against the two road bullies.
Nabeel said the incident took place on Monday (June 3) and pointed out that it was an offence under the Corrosive and Explosive Substances and Offensive Weapons Act 1958 to carry a parang.
“He is not throwing a helmet at the car windscreen. Instead, he took out a machete and slashed it against the car.
“His car plate number is also clearly recorded on video.
“Let’s see how the police will take action,” he said.
