KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 — Two teenage boys who performed hazardous stunts on a motorcycle, including a wheelie and dragging a passenger’s head on the road, which went viral on social media, were arrested by police early this morning.
In a statement, Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the department had traced a 14-second viral video showing the teenagers carrying out the dangerous acts while riding and pillion-riding a motorcycle.
The video captured a black Yamaha 135LC Fi performing a wheelie as the pillion passenger dragged his head along the road.
