Malaysian police have launched an investigation into a widely shared video showing a man attacking a Nepali security guard in a Kuala Lumpur condominium carpark. The video time stamp shows it was recorded on July 7.

The security guard, who was slapped, beaten and assaulted with a baton, did not retaliate in the short video that has gone viral.

Wangsa Maju police chief Rajab Ahad Ismail said the incident occurred at the car park of a condominium in Jalan Madrasah, Wangsa Maju, reports Free Malaysia Today.

“Until today, however, the victim has not lodged a report about the incident,” he was quoted by the online portal, which added that the attacker was a Pakistani man.

Asia Samachar has also received the video which shows a man attacking the security guard. Speaking in Malay, the attacker was heard saying: “What’s your problem? You came here to work or cause trouble?”

In a related event, an association for security service providers have lodged a police report condemning the use of force for disciplining, according to an update at the Facebook for the Persatuan Industri Keselamatan Malaysia (PIKM).
