Police on the hunt for machete-wielding robber

PETALING JAYA: Police are on the hunt for a suspect who attacked and robbed a woman in Ara Damansara here yesterday.
The probe was initiated following a closed circuit television (CCTV) recording of a parang wielding robbery at a residential area guard-post near Ara Damansara that has gone viral on social media.
In the one-minute long video clip, at about 3.50am, a Myvi with two women in it was seen at the guard-post of a residential area and was closely followed by a Honda Civic.
At this point, a young man came out of the Honda Civic with a two-feet long machete and robbed the driver of the Myvi by reaching through the driver's side window.
The on-duty guard did not react to the situation probably due to fear as the suspect was also seen waving his machete in the general direction of the guard-post.
When contacted, Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Mohd Zani Che Din confirmed the incident.
"Yes, we have a police report pertaining the incident. We are now viewing the CCTV and have initiated a manhunt to track down the suspect," he told theSun.
It is learnt that the case is being investigated under Section 394 of the Penal Code for robbery.
