Pandan indah: A 46-year-old local musician was arrested yesterday for allegedly assaulting his housemate with a guitar stand in a door-slamming incident in Pandan Indah, Ampang Jaya. Ampang Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail said the musician was released the same day after police recorded his statement.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the incident occurred last Monday after the victim, a 52-year-old man, was jolted by the slamming of a bathroom door at 6:30 am. Annoyed by the noise, the victim came out of his room and retaliated by slamming the bathroom door. This led to the suspect emerging from his room with a guitar stand in hand, subsequently using it to hit the victim. The suspect also threatened to bring his friend to further assault the victim.

Police arrested the musician at 4:45 pm yesterday in Pandan Jaya and seized a black guitar stand to assist in the investigation. The case is being investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means and Section 506 of the same code for criminal intimidation.
