Kedah police arrest man over viral video of reckless driving in ‘Bomba’ MPV

SUNGAI PETANI, Oct 29 — Police have arrested a 35-year-old man over a viral video showing him allegedly driving recklessly in a red multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) bearing the word ‘Bomba’.

Kuala Muda police chief ACP Hanyan Ramlan said investigations found that the man had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder nine years ago but was believed to have discontinued treatment about two years ago.

“Police received a report on Tuesday following the video’s circulation. The man was arrested in Bandar Puteri Jaya, where the vehicle and several other items were seized,” he told reporters at the Kuala Muda district police headquarters here today.

Hanyan said the man owned the MPV, held a valid driving licence and had no previous criminal record. His urine screening test was negative.

The case is being investigated under Section 170 of the Penal Code for impersonating a public servant and Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving.

The man was remanded for one day before being admitted to Sungai Petani Hospital for treatment and further monitoring.

Hanyan urged families to ensure members with a history of psychiatric treatment attend scheduled follow-up appointments.

双溪大年，10月29日讯——警方逮捕了一名35岁男子，此前一段疯传的视频显示，他驾驶一辆印有“Bomba”（消防）字样的红色多用途车辆（MPV）鲁莽驾驶。

瓜拉姆达警区主任哈尼安·拉姆兰助理警监表示，调查发现该男子九年前被诊断出患有双相情感障碍，但据信大约两年前停止了治疗。

“警方在周二接到报案，称该视频已在网上流传。该男子在公主城被捕，车辆和其他一些物品也被警方查获，”他今天在瓜拉姆达警区总部告诉记者。

韩彦表示，该男子是这辆MPV的车主，持有有效驾驶执照，且无犯罪记录。他的尿检结果呈阴性。

该案件正在根据《刑法》第 170 条（冒充公务人员）和 1987 年《道路交通法》第 42 条（鲁莽和危险驾驶）进行调查。

该男子被拘留一天后，被送往双溪大年医院接受治疗和进一步观察。

韩彦敦促各家庭确保有精神病治疗史的成员按时参加预定的复诊。
