Kampung Baru grocery store owner nearly slashed in robbery caught on camera

KUALA LUMPUR: A grocery store owner was terrorised at his shop in Jalan Raja Muda Musa, Kampung Baru, here recently after he was nearly slashed by a parang-wielding robber.

The incident, captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at the scene, was later circulated in X on Saturday.

The footage showed the suspect rushing into the grocery store and pointing a parang at the victim, who was behind the counter.

The suspect was then seen trying to strike the victim several times, hitting some items near the counter as the victim is seen trying to avoid the suspect's slashing.

The suspect then fled immediately after the incident.

However, Dang Wangi district police chief Assistant Commissioner Noor Dellhan Yahaya said police had not received any reports regarding the incident.

"Investigations are ongoing to find out further details related to the incident," he added.
