KUALA LUMPUR: It all happened too fast, but the action of a quick-thinking man probably saved his family's lives.
In a video posted on the FTopNews Facebook page, which has now gone viral, a man was seen standing outside his house when he noticed a suspicious white Nissan Almera approaching his front gate.
Sensing that the occupants of the car might need help, the man approached the car, only to be met with a masked intruder armed with a parang.
According to the time stamp on the video, the incident, which took place in Buntong, Ipoh, happened at around 11.52pm on May 19.
As the man ran back to his house to alert his family members, several men could be seen rushing out of the house to chase after the intruder, armed with sticks.
Clearly outnumbered, the intruder fled the scene with his accomplice, who had been waiting in the car.
The post went on to warn the public to stay vigilant.
