A youth in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, has been brutally attacked by three individuals on 7 May.
The fight reportedly erupted while he was dining at a Bak Kut Teh restaurant at 2am. The youth was seated at an outdoor table when he briefly looked at a noisy group inside the restaurant.
The trio then took offence and confronted him.
In CCTV footage that has since gone viral, a man in a blue shirt can be seen standing up, pointing at the youth, and charging towards him.
