Lorry driver shot after rush-hour chase

   
SHAH ALAM: A lorry driver was shot in the leg following a 30-minute high-speed chase with two police patrol units during rush hour.
It is learnt that the man was driving dangerously along Jalan Kebun here where policemen were monitoring rush-hour traffic at about 7am yesterday.
When told to stop the vehicle, the lorry driver sped off, with two mobile patrol vehicles in pursuit until Taman Kandis, Klang.
Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Azisman Alias said the police managed to cordon off the area and encircle the vehicle with back-up from two other police MPVs.
“We saw two passengers running into nearby bushes,” ACP Azisman said.
“The lorry driver also ran off but he came back brandishing a metal rod.”
He said the driver tried to wrestle a pistol from one of the policemen, forcing him to fire a shot, which hit the suspect in the leg.
“We are still searching for the other men who were with the lorry driver.
“The driver was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment,” he said.
ACP Azisman said the police also seized several tools believed to be used for house break-ins.

LELAKI CEDERA TERKENA TEMBAKAN KETIKA SERANG ANGGOTA POLIS

Klang, 21 Feb - Seorang suspek kes curi lori cedera di kaki akibat terkena tembakan ketika menyerang anggota polis trafik yang cuba menahannya di Taman Kandis Permai di sini hari ini.

Dalam kejadian kira-kira 7.45 pagi itu, anggota polis trafik terbabit terlihat sebuah lori dipandu dalam keadaan mencurigakan ketika sedang mengawal lalu lintas di Jalan Kebun di sini.

Ketua Polis Daerah Klang Selatan ACP Kamarul Zaman Mamat berkata anggota polis berkenaan cuba menahan lori itu namun pemandunya enggan berhenti dan terus memecut sehingga hampir melanggar beberapa kenderaan lain.

Anggota berpangkat Lans Koperal itu terus mengejar suspek lelaki itu dengan motosikal sejauh tujuh kilometer dan berjaya memaksanya memberhentikan kenderaan.

"Suspek yang cemas, bergelut dan mengancam polis dengan sebilah pisau menyebabkan anggota kami terpaksa melepaskan satu das tembakan mengenai kaki suspek. Anggota polis itu pula cedera ringan di bahagian tangan kiri akibat bergelut," katanya kepada pemberita di sini hari ini.

Kamarul Zaman berkata lelaki itu disyaki melarikan diri kerana menaiki kenderaan curi bersabit satu kes di Pandamaran pada Ahad lepas.

Hasil pemeriksaan turut menjumpai peralatan yang digunakan untuk mencuri kenderaan dalam lori berkenaan.

Suspek yang cedera itu dihantar ke Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah untuk rawatan dan akan ditahan reman, katanya.

Seorang saksi kejadian berkata beliau amat takut dan cemas kerana pergelutan itu di depan matanya dan beliau memuji tindakan berani polis itu.

"Masa kejadian saya bersama beberapa jiran lain di hadapan rumah dan terkejut tengok ada satu lori dikejar polis trafik. Lori tu himpit motor polis sampai polis jatuh dan dia bergelut dengan polis hingga polis terpaksa lepaskan tembakan," katanya.- BERNAMA
