Road bully leaves couple badly hurt

PETALING JAYA: A motorist knocked down a couple on a motorcycle and then, after a confrontation, tried to run them down leaving the two severely injured.

Chong Zie Hau, 24, suffered broken bones to his right leg, right rib and collar bone, and a ruptured lung. He also received 12 stitches on his head.

His wife Tee Siew Yee, also 24, is believed to be in serious condition after suffering a crack on her skull and possible brain damage, and is in the Intensive Care Unit.

In the police report lodged on the matter, the two were said to be on their way to a night market near their home in Seri Kembangan around 8.30pm last Monday, when a Proton Wira cut into their lane at a T-junction and knocked them into a drain.

According to Chong’s sister, Chiew Seek, 27, the driver of the car did not stop, and Chong picked himself up and gave chase on his motorcycle before catching up a few hundred metres later.

She said a heated argument took place when the driver allegedly refused to acknowledge his mistake and challenged Chong to a fist fight.

Chong finally left the area for a nearby police station, after both parties agreed to lodge reports, she added.

However, while on their way to the station, the driver rammed his car into the couple.

According to eyewitness accounts, he even got out of his car after ramming them and kicked Chong several times while shouting at him before fleeing the scene. Chong and Tee were rushed to Hospital Serdang before being transferred to Sunway Medical Centre for treatment.

Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar confirmed the incident. The driver of the car has lodged a police report.
