SHAH ALAM – Police detained three male teenagers to assist investigations into the beating of a homeless man with baseball bats under the bridge in Port Klang near here recently.

South Klang police chief Cha Hoong Fong said three suspects aged 16 were picked up around Klang at about 3 this morning.
