Tawau shooting video shows earlier arrest of violent rape suspect who strangled cop, police clarify

The viral video of officers firing shots at a water village in Tawau depicts an arrest operation conducted on October 9, clarifies Tawau district police chief ACP Rosdi Mat Jusoh.

The operation, aimed at apprehending suspects involved in an armed robbery and attempted rape, led to the arrest of one foreign individual after a confrontation that necessitated warning shots.

The suspect, who tested positive for drug use and lacked valid identification, was apprehended following aggressive resistance, while two other suspects remain at large.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — A viral video showing officers firing shots at a water village in Tawau is of an arrest operation on Oct 9, not a new incident or shooutout, according to the police

Tawau district police chief ACP Rosdi Mat Jusoh said in a statement that police were aware of the video circulating on social media, which shows shots being fired during an arrest at Kampung Titingan.

He said the operation took place at about 4pm on Oct 9. A team from the district Criminal Investigation Division, the Tawau police station Strike Team and the Titingan Area Police Post were hunting suspects in an armed robbery and attempted rape of an 18-year-old foreign woman. The crime occurred earlier that day at about 3.50am.

Police believe three men armed with machetes snatched two mobile phones and RM434 in cash from the victim, causing total losses estimated at RM3,500.

“During the arrest operation, a suspect acted aggressively by trying to attack a police officer with an iron rod before jumping into the sea,” he said.

“The suspect also punched and tried to strangle a police officer while being chased, until warning shots had to be fired before the suspect was successfully arrested. Two police personnel were injured.”

The suspect is a foreign man in his 30s who had no valid identification documents. Police seized an iron rod, and a preliminary urine screening test found him positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine.

Rosdi then reiterated that the viral video shows warning shots during the Oct 9 operation.

The case is being investigated under Sections 395, 397 and 354 of the Penal Code, and police are still looking for two other suspects.

斗湖警区主任罗斯迪·马特·尤索赫助理警监澄清说，网上疯传的警察向斗湖水村开枪的视频，是10月9日进行的一次逮捕行动。

此次行动旨在抓捕涉嫌武装抢劫和强奸未遂的嫌疑人，在一次需要鸣枪示警的对峙后，逮捕了一名外国公民。

嫌疑人毒品检测呈阳性，且缺乏有效身份证件，在激烈反抗后被抓获，另有两名嫌疑人仍然在逃。

吉隆坡，10月14日讯——警方表示，一段在网络上疯传的视频显示，警员在斗湖一处水上村庄开枪，但该视频拍摄于10月9日的一次逮捕行动中，并非新的事件或交火。

斗湖警区主任罗斯迪·马特·尤索夫助理警监在一份声明中表示，警方已经注意到社交媒体上流传的视频，该视频显示在甘榜丁岸逮捕过程中有人开枪。

他表示，行动于10月9日下午4点左右展开。来自地区刑事调查科、斗湖警局突击队和丁岸地区警署的联合小组正在追捕一名涉嫌持械抢劫并企图强奸一名18岁外籍女子的嫌疑人。该案发生于当天凌晨3点50分左右。

警方认为，三名持砍刀的男子抢走了受害者的两部手机和 434 令吉现金，造成的总损失估计为 3500 令吉。

他说：“在逮捕行动中，一名嫌疑人行为具有攻击性，试图用铁棍袭击一名警官，然后跳入海中。”

“嫌犯在被追捕过程中还殴打并试图勒死一名警官，警方不得不鸣枪示警才将其逮捕。两名警员受伤。”

嫌疑人是一名30多岁的外国男子，没有有效的身份证明文件。警方缴获了一根铁棍，初步尿检结果显示其体内含有甲基苯丙胺和苯丙胺。

罗斯迪随后重申，这段疯传的视频显示的是 10 月 9 日行动期间的警告射击。

警方正在根据《刑法》第 395、397 和 354 条对此案进行调查，目前仍在追捕另外两名嫌疑人。
