PETALING JAYA: An administrative officer who allegedly hammered a car belonging to a 67-year-old man with a steering lock, claimed trial to causing damage and mischief at the magistrate's court.
Ridhwan Rahmat, 32, was alleged to have knocked on the hood and windshield of a Mercedes Benz belonging to Chin Saw Thon.
He was charged with committing the offence at Jalan Persiaran Tujuan, Subang Jaya, USJ 8, Goodyear Court 5 here at 2.30pm on Nov 15.
Ridhwan also faced a second charge of using criminal intimidation on Chin at the same place and time.
Magistrate Salamiah Salleh allowed RM7,000 bail for both charges and fixed Dec 3 for mention.
Earlier, the victim who was present in court said he did not want to pursue the matter.
The court had then allowed a representation to be made to the Attorney-General's Chambers to drop the charges against the accused.
Deputy public prosecutor Fatimah Yahya prosecuted while Ridhwan was represented by counsel Zainal Abidin.
Yesterday, a consultant company director whose photographs of him allegedly spitting at a woman's car went viral on social media was charged at the Kuala Lumpur magistrate's court.
