KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 3 (Bernama) -- Police on Wednesday defended their action in firing shots for self defence in a criminal case in Gombak near here on Oct 30 last year.
City CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah said in the 4.30am incident, policemen on patrol came across a car that was driven in a suspicious manner.
"Police ordered the car to stop but the suspects accelerated away in the direction of Selayang and onwards to Gombak.
"Police had to fire shots in the direction of the car when the suspects tried to mow down our men," he said in a statement here Wednesday.
He said the driver of the car and a female passenger were injured in the incident and were given treatment at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL).
Ku said checks on the suspect's vehicle showed it had been stolen and reported missing in Alor Setar, Kedah and also found in it were parangs, an axe, false registration plates, knives, a knuckle duster, screwdrivers, false road tax discs and a bunch of keys.
He said the case was before the courts and advised the public not to participate in any demonstrations that might be held pertaining to it.
"Police have not received any application for a permit to hold a demonstration at Bukit Aman Thursday," he added.
