In a video lasting about a minute, both officers can be seen inside a vehicle while tailing the truck. One of them uses hand signals and activates the siren to signal the truck driver to stop.
Shortly afterward, the truck driver stops in a parking area, where the driver and front passenger exit and begin verbally abusing the officer. More disturbingly, a man exiting the truck immediately punches the officer recording the incident.
The man can also be heard provoking both JPJ officers.
