KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Police have arrested a travel consultant for allegedly assaulting a secondary school student following a road dispute near Saujana Impian in Kajang yesterday.

In a statement yesterday, Kajang District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Naazron Abdul Yusof, said a police report on the incident was lodged at 9.24pm.

The complainant, a 17-year-old male student, claimed he was assaulted by an unidentified man after an altercation on the road.

“Preliminary investigations found the incident occurred at 2.15pm following a dispute while both individuals were driving in the Saujana area.

“As a result, the student suffered a fractured nasal bone and received treatment at Kajang Hospital.

“Checks revealed the teenager did not have a driving licence and was issued a traffic summons,” he said.
