Teen hurt after escaping attempted abduction in Shah Alam
PETALING JAYA : A 15-year-old schoolboy escaped an attempted abduction while jogging alone in Seksyen 13, Shah Alam, yesterday evening.
Shah Alam police chief Iqbal Ibrahim said the teenager lodged a police report at 10.42pm last night, several hours after the incident.
'The boy was approached by two unidentified men in an old grey vehicle, believed to be a Proton Saga or Iswara, at about 5.15pm.
'One of the suspects exited the vehicle and pointed a knife at the victim, ordering him to get in,' Iqbal said in a statement.
Iqbal said the teenager resisted and got into a scuffle with the suspect before managing to flee to a nearby condominium guardhouse to seek help.
'The complainant sustained injuries, including a cut on his right cheek and wounds on both arms. He was taken to the hospital for further treatment,' he said.
Police are investigating the case under Section 363 for kidnapping, and Section 511 of the Penal Code for attempting to commit a crime.
The case is also being investigated under Section 324 of the same code for voluntarily causing hurt with a weapon.

Two brothers arrested after 90km high-speed chase in Shah Alam
SHAH ALAM: Two brothers, aged 24 and 18, were arrested after leading police on a high-speed chase spanning 90 kilometres in Shah Alam. The pursuit lasted nearly an hour before authorities intercepted the suspects' vehicle. Shah Alam police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said the incident began around 1.30 am when a Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) spotted a suspicious blue Proton Wira in Section 7 Commercial Centre. Police attempted to stop the car using sirens and loudspeakers, but the driver accelerated instead. 'This led to a 90km chase around Shah Alam before six additional patrol vehicles were called in to help intercept the suspects' vehicle. After nearly an hour, police managed to stop the car in Section 9, in front of the Selangor Police Headquarters, and arrested both suspects,' Mohd Iqbal said in a statement. Upon inspection, officers found a bottle containing a green liquid suspected to be ketum juice under the front passenger seat. Checks revealed the older brother had five prior drug-related offences, while the younger suspect had no criminal record. The case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant and Section 30(3) of the Poisons Act 1952. The Shah Alam Magistrate's Court granted a three-day remand for both suspects. A 17-second video of the chase at Section 7 Commercial Centre had earlier gone viral on social media.
