KUALA LUMPUR - The Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) confirmed an incident of violence occurred at the entrance of a District Police Headquarters last night.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, said the incident took place in a state in the east coast.

He mentioned that police is still conducting an investigation on this and an official statement will be issued soon.

"The video we watched only shows a portion of the incident.

"There might have been events prior to that, including provocative actions or the like."

"I cannot comment further as the investigation is ongoing," he said during a press conference today.
