Seberang Perai Tengah police chief Helmi Aris said investigations found that the incident took place on Monday, at around 11.50pm.

“During the incident, a salesperson at the premises was approached by two men. One of them requested alcohol from the salesperson,” he said in a statement.

“A misunderstanding then happened, which escalated into a fight between the two parties. One of the individuals used a helmet to strike the other’s back outside the premises.”

Helmi said one of the individuals involved sustained minor injuries to the face, while the other was unharmed.

“The case is being investigated under Section 324 and Section 323 of the Penal Code, as well as Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955,” he added.

Section 323/324 of the Penal Code deals with the punishment for voluntarily causing hurt using dangerous means, while Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act covers disorderly conduct in public places.

A video of a fight between a drunk man and a convenience store owner had gone viral on social media earlier this week.
