The Star: 5-June-2009PETALING JAYA: A drive home from the bank turned violent for a 72-year-old retiree who fell victim to a road bully in Damansara Damai.
M. Edwards, the father of one of The Star’s journalists, suffered injuries to his head and body after he was punched several times in the 10am incident yesterday.
He received outpatient treatment at the Sungai Buloh Hospital.
Edwards (pic) said he had just finished paying some bills at a bank and was driving home with his daughter when a van cut into his lane.
“I sounded my horn at the driver because he had swerved in suddenly without using the indicator,” he added.
“The man then started driving slowly and kept swerving to prevent me from overtaking.”
This continued for a while and then the van suddenly stopped and the driver got down.
Edwards said he then stopped his car and got out to see what was the problem, adding that another man seated in the van did not get out.
The driver, who looked to be in his 30s, walked straight to Edwards and, without saying a word, started punching him.
“I tried to fight back, but he was huge. He punched me in the face, head and body several times before getting back into the van and fleeing,” Edwards said.
He added that as the bully drove off he challenged him (Edwards) to report the attack to the police.
Edwards lodged a police report at a nearby police station.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed confirmed the incident and said police were investigating.

sori, NOT seen in ipoh, so far !
The son of unmarried parents is most probably a cop. That's why he was so brazen. Since the registration number is given, what is there to prevent the cops from arresting him?? The SOBs will say they cannot trace him.
Easy, just check with JPJ.
These people belong to the catergory of wife beaters,child and animal abusers and abusers of the elderly and anyone who is unable to fight back. NOTE THEY WILL ONLY TARGET THE VULNERABLE. PUT THEM WITH SOMEONE WHO GIVE THEM THE SAME TREATMENT AND SEE THEM COWER.
