Petaling Jaya police chief Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said the man would be charged under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing government officials from carrying out their duties.

“The investigation paper was referred to the deputy public prosecutor and we have been informed that the man will be charged this Friday,” Harian Metro quoted him as saying.

Last week, Fakhrudin confirmed that the man was being probed for preventing government officials from carrying out their duties.

He also acknowledged that the man was injured after being accidentally hit by a rod used to catch stray dogs.

In a video that went viral, an elderly man could be seen being roughed up by MBPJ’s enforcement team while he tried to protect his dogs from being captured.

The incident took place at Taman Kanagapuram, off Jalan Klang Lama, here, on March 23.

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung demanded MBPJ explain the conduct of its officers and said the council’s integrity unit should launch an investigation.

The council then said it had initiated an investigation following the circulation of the video online, promising to be fair in its probe.
