PETALING JAYA: Police are investigating a shocking video being shared on social media showing two men slashing a woman.
The two-and-a-half minute video, which has gone viral, is alleged to have been shot at an industrial estate in Klang.
"We are in the midst of tracing the whereabouts of the suspects in the video. Our initial investigation indicates that it was a fight between a husband and wife," said Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Comm Fadzil Ahmat when contacted.
The video starts with a man dragging and beating a woman in front of a blue car, while several people witnessing the beating are heard screaming.
Another man can be seen getting out of the car brandishing a weapon resembling a machete and walking towards the two, as the other man drags the woman towards the passenger side of the vehicle.
Moments later the accomplice opens the car door as the suspect grabs the weapon and threatens to slash the woman.
The two men drag the woman behind the passenger side door as one of the suspects swings the weapon repeatedly at the woman.
The two then bundle the woman into the car as she is heard screaming for help before driving off.

UPDATE BY MALAYMAILONLINE
A two-minute video recording of the incident shows the woman screaming for help while the man, armed with a parang, attacks her before bundling her into a blue-coloured Proton Satria.PETALING JAYA, March 8 — A woman factory worker was dragged kicking and screaming out of her workplace in Klang and slashed at by two men this morning while several bystanders, including a security guard, looked on helplessly.
A two-minute video recording of the incident circulating on social media shows the woman screaming frantically for help while the man, armed with a parang, attacks her before bundling her into a blue-coloured Proton Satria.
Police are now searching for the two attackers, one who has been identified as the woman’s partner N. Somoo, 37, while the other is known only as Morgan.
Klang Selatan police chief Assistant Commissioner Shamsul Amar Ramli said Somoo went to the factory on Jalan Seruling, Taman Klang Jaya where 42-year-old P. Komathi works at 9am.
“The husband started assaulting his wife when she came out from the factory to meet him.
“He attacked her with a parang as his friend watched, soon after they forced her into a blue Satria and drove away,” the policeman said.
He added that police believe the man may have been motivated to act so by jealousy, based on a police report filed by the couple’s 13-year-old daughter.
A police source told Malay Mail the couple were not legally married but have three children together.
The woman has since been admitted to a hospital in Seremban and is currently in stable condition.
“The suspects dropped her at the hospital and immediately fled the scene.
“Initial investigations suggest the husband attacked his wife as he suspected that she was having an affair with another man,” the source said.
Komathi suffered multiple slash wounds to her head, hands, legs and back.
Shamsul said a police team is searching for the two men now
