Kuala Muda police chief Adzli Abu Shah said 10 men were arrested after police reviewed CCTV recordings and statements from four people who were initially arrested.

He said the suspects, aged in their 20s to 50s, were believed to have got involved in the brawl following their unhappiness with the problems related to the voting system.

“Some were arrested last night and others came to the police station to lodge a report before they were detained to facilitate investigations.

“We will be investigating the case from all angles. We want to ensure that such cases do not happen again,” he was quoted as saying by the English daily.

Adzli also said 13 of the suspects would be remanded while another suspect, who is in his 50s, was freed on police bail due to his health.

The suspects are being investigated for rioting.

Yesterday, it was reported that police arrested four people involved in a brawl.

The suspects, aged between 21 and 59, were said to have used brooms and pipes as weapons.
