The husband assaulted the victim outside a karaoke centre in Melaka, with the incident caught on CCTV
Malaysian police in Melaka are tracking a 22-year-old man after a video showing him attacking his pregnant wife outside a karaoke centre in Kota Shahbandar went viral on social media.
State police chief Deputy Commissioner Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said a report on the incident was lodged by the victim’s mother at 1.17am on Monday.
He said preliminary investigations showed that the 20-year-old victim was attacked by her husband in front of a family karaoke centre in Kota Shahbandar at about 4am on Sunday.
“Checks on closed-circuit television (CCTV) recordings revealed that the suspect acted aggressively by punching, slapping and pulling the victim’s hair before ramming her head with a motorcycle,” he said on Tuesday.
“As a result, the victim sustained soft-tissue injuries to her head and right cheek and was taken by ambulance to Hospital Melaka at 4.41am for treatment,” he added.
Dzulkhairi said that after receiving treatment, the victim was taken home by her mother to Tanjung Minyak Perdana, after which the latter lodged a police report in an effort to protect her daughter.
