SANDAKAN (BERNAMA) — A teacher was robbed of her belongings worth MYR2,000 after her car was rammed by another vehicle from behind while she was on her way to work at the junction of Jalan Jambatan Merah on Jalan Utara early Tuesday morning.
In a statement here on Tuesday evening, Sandakan police chief ACP Abdul Fuad Abdul Malek said during the 5.30 am incident, the 47-year-old teacher also dodged an attack by the robber who tried to hit her with a wooden stick after both drivers had stopped at the roadside and alighted from their respective vehicles.
“A struggle ensued between the robber and the victim, but the robber managed to grab the victim’s handbag and took off in his Toyota Camry car.
“The victim did not suffer any injuries and went straight to the Sandakan police station to lodge a report,” he said.
