Two Malaysians, who went viral for their physical brawl at a convenience store, have been apprehended by PDRM in Penang. In a statement today (June 7), Seberang Perai Tengah district chief police, Assistant Commissioner Helmi Aris, confirmed that both suspects were detained last night (June 6).

Helmi explained that the store owner was approached by two men, one of whom asked for a bottle of alcohol. A misunderstanding ensued, escalating into a physical altercation, during which one of the suspects was struck on the back of his head with a helmet.

One suspect sustained minor facial injuries while the other remained unhurt. The incident occurred around 11:50 PM on June 3.
