POLICE are hunting a man suspected of assaulting and threatening a customer following a dispute over queue-cutting at a convenience store in Mutiara Subang recently.

Sungai Buloh district police chief Superintendent Mohd Hafiz Muhammad Nor said the victim lodged a police report two days ago, prompting an investigation into alleged assault and criminal intimidation.

He said preliminary investigations found that the incident began when the victim confronted the suspect for allegedly cutting the queue while making payment.

"The suspect, angered by the confrontation, allegedly assaulted and threatened the victim before fleeing on a motorcycle," he said in a recent statement.

Mohd Hafiz said police were working to identify and locate the suspect.

The case is being investigated under Sections 323 and 506 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation respectively.

Members of the public with information on the incident can contact investigating officer Sergeant Shamie Yosup at 013-6463069 or the Sungai Buloh District Police Headquarters at 03-6156 1222.

Information can also be provided at any nearby police station, he said.
