In the video posted on TikTok, a fleet of police cars and motorcycles are seen chasing a grey Proton Wira and cornering it to the side of a road.
With no where else to go, the suspect jumps out of his car and attempts to flee on foot. The police officers then rush out of their vehicles and chase him across a busy street.
At the end, the officers are seen apprehending a man and placing him into a police car.
“It was a huge mistake that [the suspect] decided to race against the police and military. They are trained to run long distances for long periods,” commented a TikTok user.
Meanwhile, others praised the TikTok user who posted the video for his complete recording, with netizens likening the chase to shows and video games, such as Gerak Khas and Grand Theft Auto.
“The video quality is like watching a movie. The beginning and ending in one video. Good job, brother. Malaysians need more cameramen like you,” said a netizen.
According to Bernama, Petaling Jaya district deputy police chief Supt Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said they gave chase after the suspect attempted to run over patrol officers who tried to flag him down to inspect his car.
The police fired a shot at the tyre of the suspect’s car when he tried to ram them, but he still managed to speed off.
This led to a 30-minute chase that was partly caught on the viral video.
They have also seized his car and noted that the suspect did not have any valid identifications or travel documents.
The man is being investigated for attempted murder and defying police orders.
