A video allegedly showing two auxiliary policemen at the Johor Baru Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) checkpoint embroiled in a fistfight with a taxi driver has gained circulation on Facebook: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/282532
The video lasting a little more than a minute showed the auxiliary policemen punching and kicking the driver, who fought back.
The video uploaded this afternoon on several popular Facebook pages such as 'Sukan Star TV' and 'What's Going On in Johor Baru' also shows a traffic policeman showing up to try to break up the fight.
A source who is related to one of the persons allegedly involved in the video told Malaysiakini that the taxi driver was in the wrong as he had parked in a restricted area.
“The auxiliary police told the taxi driver nicely to move to another area, but instead, the taxi driver got angry.
“He then challenged the policeman to take off his police uniform before proceeding to punch and kick him,” said the source, who declined to be named.
