Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the suspects, aged between 20 and 24, were arrested on Tuesday afternoon and remanded for one day starting Wednesday. He said the six suspects were released yesterday after their statements were recorded to assist investigations under Sections 147 and 427 of the Penal Code. “The investigation has been referred to the deputy public prosecutor, but the report needs to be completed before a decision is made,” he said in a statement yesterday. Rusdi added that two other suspects, aged 22 and 24, who were previously remanded on Tuesday, were also released on police bail yesterday. On December 21, police identified a viral video showing a brawl between two groups of football supporters at Bandar Tasik Selatan LRT station on the Ampang-Sri Petaling line.
