Saad claimed that Lenggong Umno Youth chief Mohamad Iruan Zulkefli had suddenly grabbed his throat and punched him.
Iruan had earlier told him not to interfere in Umno Youth matters.
Saad (right) said the incident occurred at the Dewan Kampung Kelantan in Lenggong yesterday.In his police report, he said a group of 10 men led by Iruan confronted him.
“In an angry tone Iruan told me to ‘butt out’ of Umno Youth affairs.
“I denied this (claim) but he suddenly grabbed my throat and punched my face.
“His friends then shoved me against the wall,” read the report sighted by Malaysiakini.
Confirming the incident, Perkasa Youth chief Irwan Fahmi Ideris expressed regret that the brawl could happen purportedly over flood aid distribution.
“We are still investigating the cause for this but we deeply regret that such things could happen.
“This is the type of leaders in Umno Youth today, who have no manners or brains,” he said.
He said Malaysia has laws and disputes should not be solved with violence.
Meanwhile, Iruan told Malaysiakini that Saad was pretending and “acting” as if he was badly hurt.
He also dismissed that the Perkasa man sustained “serious injuries”.
“Don’t be an actor. Don’t take advantage and don’t slander,” he said.
