According to Sin Chew Daily, the incident took place on Friday (1 May) morning near a Shell petrol station in the Bandar Sultan Suleiman area of Klang, Selangor.

Woman claims driver was watching her through rear-view mirror
Klang Utara District Police Chief ACP S. Vijaya Rao said the woman claimed she had felt fearful and anxious during the journey because she believed the driver had been watching her through the rear-view mirror without any clear reason.
At the time, the PHV was being driven by a 47-year-old local man, who works as a full-time e-hailing driver.
He was carrying two local female passengers when one of them suddenly opened the rear right door and jumped out of the moving car.
The driver stopped the vehicle and later found that the woman had sustained minor injuries.
Following the incident, the driver cancelled the e-hailing booking. With the assistance of a motorcyclist at the scene, the woman was then sent to a nearby clinic for treatment.
The driver later lodged a police report as a covering report to protect himself against any possible future implications.
Police are investigating the case under Section 336 of the Penal Code, which concerns acts endangering life or personal safety.
