Seven Yemeni men aged between 23 and 26 were arrested in Kuala Lumpur after performing dangerous stunts by leaning out of and sitting on the windows of two moving vehicles along Jalan Sungai Besi towards Jalan Bukit Bintang at about 12:30 a.m. on August 28, 2026 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Police said the passengers acted dangerously by exposing their bodies from moving cars, endangering their own safety and public order, according to Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa, who noted the stunts were done to celebrate a friend's wedding [2, 3].
Among those arrested, five are students at a public university in Kedah, while the other two have already graduated from university [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The men were detained by police and released on police bail as investigations continue [4, 5]. They face charges under Section 336 of the Malaysian Penal Code related to negligent or rash acts endangering life or personal safety, which carries a maximum penalty of up to three months imprisonment, a fine of up to RM500, or both [2, 3, 4, 5].
Police have urged the public and any witnesses to assist with the investigation by contacting the Tun H.S. Lee Traffic Police Station or nearby police stations [2, 3, 4, 5]. The case remains under active investigation following the incident early today.
