Watch: Man on motorcycle smashes car window, attempts to snatch driver's purse

KUALA LUMPUR: Two men are wanted by police for involvement in an attempted snatch theft at a traffic light in Bandar Sri Damansara, on Saturday.

One of the two men, who were on a motorcycle, smashed the window of a car waiting at a red light and attempted to steal the driver's handbag.

"(They) failed, as the victim managed to hold on to her possession. The 47-year-old victim did not suffer any injuries," Petaling Jaya police chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal told Bernama yesterday.

The incident was captured by the dash cam of a nearby car. The footage was uploaded to social media platforms and has since gone viral.

Nik Ezanee said the case is being investigated under Section 393 of the Penal Code for attempted robbery.
