"One of the suspects held him tight while the other man hit him from behind. When the suspect tried to run away, he was arrested by members of the public," he said.The police are now hunting for the second suspect, identified as Richard Janting, 39, a labourer, from Rumah Silai, Skrang Scheme in Sri Aman.
The case is being investigated under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting and under Regulation 10 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Regulations 2020.
