KUALA LUMPUR – A 35-year-old police officer in Malaysia has been arrested after several videos went viral of her insulting and yelling at members of the public at her fellow police officers.
The arrest was made at about 1:20 am local time on Sunday by the Gombak district police station, Malaysia’s New Straits Times (NST) reported, citing Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan.
“The suspect will be granted bail after a thorough investigation as more police reports involving the suspect have been filed,” he said.
Officers also seized a cell phone during the arrest to aid in the investigation.
The police officer, who is under investigation for criminal harassment, is also accused of preventing officials from carrying out their duties and using rude, disgraceful or abusive words.
In one of the viral videos, a woman who is said to be the officer insults fellow cops, claiming they don’t deserve to talk to her because of their lower ranks.
The altercation was a result of the police officers requesting to see her authorization card as she was believed to be involved in a debt collection incident, NST reported, citing acting Gombak police chief Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir. He also confirmed the incident and that a report had been made to the police.
Another viral video showed someone allegedly the officer in a heated argument with a member of the public at a temple above a mall parking lot.
In the video, she can be seen yelling at another man and woman as the person recording the video calls her “crazy”.
