PETALING JAYA: A 41-year-old Grab car driver got himself a passenger from hell when a man got in the vehicle and forced him to hand over his cash while holding a knife to his neck.
The man then sprayed the driver’s eyes with pepper spray in the incident which occurred at around 4.45pm along Jalan Prima 1, Kepong.
Police have arrested a 43-year-old man suspected of robbing the Grab car driver at knifepoint last week. The man has been remanded for six days from May 5 until May 10 to assist in investigations.
Police also confiscated cash, pepper spray and a mobile phone.
The case is being investigated under Section 392/397 of the Penal Code.
The arrest has also led to the police solving three other robberies, which had been reported since last week.
The Kuala Lumpur police have urged individuals with any information to contact the Sentul police district headquarters at 03-40482206.
