The Johor police arrested two more individuals believed to be involved in a fight in the Tampoi area, here which went viral on social media yesterday.
Johor Police Chief, Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said, the latest arrest saw a total of eight individuals arrested so far involving suspects aged between 18 and 35 years.
According to him, his party is still tracking several individuals who are believed to be involved or witnesses to the fight.
"Actually, the case of the fight that started between the school students was over when the police met with the families of both parties, but the issue now is when outsiders intervene.
"So our advice is that all parties do not interfere with the police investigation and do not make any statements or actions that could further inflame the situation.
"The Johor police will take strict action against any party found to be involved in violating any laws of this country," he said when contacted here today.
The case is investigated under Section 148 of the Penal Code and investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code and Section 385 of the Penal Code.
The fight is believed to be caused by the action of one of the parties throwing an extinguisher at the other party before the fight between them.
The incident is alleged to have worsened when one party called individuals from outside the school to be involved in the same, causing several individuals to be injured, including in the head.
Yesterday, Johor Bahru Utara District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh was reported to have said that six suspects, including a woman, were arrested in connection with a fight that went viral through a 28-second video recording.
