A riot broke out Sunday night at Low Yat Plaza, leaving five people injured, including three pressmen.
The riot reportedly started after 22-year-old Shahrul Anuar Abdul Aziz was handed over on Saturday to the police for allegedly stealing a RM800 phone from a store at the popular tech mall.
According to the police, Shahrul’s friend, who was also nabbed but later released, had contacted their other friends and the group returned to the mobile phone store, assaulted its workers and caused some RM70,000 worth of damages.
Rumours swirled on social media after the alleged theft that the Chinese trader had sold the Malay man a counterfeit phone, leading to calls for boycotts of “cheating” Chinese traders and the complex.
