- The 55‑year‑old suffered abrasions and later sought medical treatment, and investigators identified the suspect through ground enquiries and police camera images.
- The suspect, named in court documents as Muhammad Asyraf Said, was charged on June 4 with voluntarily causing hurt and his case was adjourned to June 18.
- Police issued a stern warning to the 55‑year‑old for displaying a foreign national emblem without a permit and reminded the public that such displays can be an offence under the Foreign National Emblems (Control of Display) Act.
