BUTTERWORTH, Feb 21 (Bernama): Police denied acting aggressively, including deliberately handcuffing an Indonesian woman who was working at a dim sum restaurant in Jalan Raja Uda, here, in a special integrated operation on Wednesday.
Seberang Perai Utara district police chief ACP Noorzainy Mohd Noor said that a video of alleged police misconduct against the 46-year-old woman went viral on social media yesterday, but in fact, the woman acted aggressively by shouting at the police when she was being apprehended. The Indonesian woman attempted to flee when a team of police conducted checks at the premises but was arrested some 100 metres away by a Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) enforcement officer. The woman showed some resistance including throwing the apron she was wearing at the cops.
