Mentally ill woman remanded for assaulting child at grocery store
NILAI: A woman who holds a Persons with Disabilities (PwD) card was arrested last night for allegedly assaulting an 11-year-old boy at a grocery shop in the Sri Palma Villa housing area in Mantin. The incident occurred at around 12.30pm yesterday, when the woman is believed to have suspected the boy of stealing items from the store. Nilai district police chief Superintendent Abdul Malik Hasim said police received a report at 3.30pm from a local woman who claimed that her son had been attacked and threatened by a woman known to her. "A team from the Nilai district police headquarters arrested a woman in her 30s at around 11pm for allegedly injuring the boy," he said in a statement today. Police also seized a grey hooded sweatshirt and a toy weapon as evidence. Abdul Malik said initial investigations showed the victim had been buying a drink when the suspect suddenly kicked and stomped on his face and legs. "She is also accused of threatening to kill the boy. The incident was captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) and witnessed by another customer," he said. He added that the suspect holds a PwD card and is believed to suffer from mental health issues. "She was reportedly hallucinating at the time and accused the victim of stealing, although there is no evidence to support the claim," he said. The victim was treated at Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital (HTJ) in Seremban for swelling to the nose and bruising on parts of his legs. The case is being investigated under Sections 323 and 506 of the Penal Code for causing hurt and criminal intimidation. The suspect was brought before the Seremban Magistrate's Court this morning, where a four-day remand was granted until July 19 to facilitate investigations.
