Two vehicles repeatedly drove into a crowd of people outside a nightclub in Kuala Lumpur (KL), resulting in two people getting injured.
Footage of the shocking incident was posted by a netizen named Hazel Wan on Facebook on Wednesday (29 Jan) morning.
In the clip, a crowd of people can be seen gathered on the edge of the sidewalk. Loud music can be heard from a club.
A white Toyota Hilux pickup truck, driving against the flow of traffic, then accelerated and swerved straight into the crowd, hitting at least one person before veering off to the left.
A gray Toyota Vios followed suit, hitting another person who was thrown in front of the car.
Some in the crowd rushed onto the road to assist those who were hit, but the two vehicles unexpectedly made a U-turn and returned, charging towards them again.
