Havoc At Coffee shop (The Star)21st sept 2011
A COFFEE shop operator and several of his customers were injured after a group of men attacked them in Island Glades in Penang.
The men, numbering at least seven, armed with iron rods, parang and sticks, rushed into the coffee shop and started damaging the tables, chairs and hawker stalls.
One of them also attacked the operator, 60, who was sitting at the cashier counter at about 10pm on Monday. He suffered multiple body injuries and was treated at the Penang Hospital before being transferred to a private hospital.
A customer, also in his 60s, was also slashed several times during the attack. He was not seriously injured.
Initial investigations showed that revenge could be the motive of the attack as a day earlier, two men believed to be friends of the attackers were beaten up inside the coffee shop following a misunderstanding
George Town OCPD Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng said police had identified two of the attackers, aged 18 and 19, but they were not home when a team went to their homes in Padang Tembak and Gelugor.
“Closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) footage showed at least seven people were involved in the attack. They were wearing helmets and jackets and came in four motorcycles.
“They fled the scene after the attack. We believe they could have stolen RM1,000 from the cashier drawer,” he said when contacted yesterday.
ACP Gan said a steel rod was recovered from the scene, adding that the case was being investigated for possession of weapons or missiles during a riot under Section 148 of the Penal Code
