NILAI, Nov 10 — Police are looking for the driver of a car believed to have been carrying a young boy who fell onto the road after clinging to the vehicle’s rear door in an incident near the Nilai Toll Plaza.

Nilai police chief Superintendent Johari Yahya said police were also trying to locate the boy and his family to assist in further investigations, Kosmo! Online reported today.

He said police had earlier received a report about a roughly one-minute video circulating on social media platform Threads at 11.02pm yesterday, showing a boy falling from a car, apparently captured by another vehicle’s dashboard camera.

Johari said investigations had identified the owner of the dashcam footage showing the incident.

“The investigating officer has contacted the individual to obtain a statement and the original footage of the incident. However, no response has been received so far.

“Based on a statement posted by the dashcam owner on social media, the boy’s relative, believed to be his father, had turned back on foot to retrieve the child as the incident occurred some distance from a U-turn,” he said here today.
