The police were told about a man being threatened with a parang by a group at a carpark. This happened at about 1:55 am on Tuesday.

The police found out that the victim was confronted because of a car rental disagreement. One of the men, 38, had a parang and threatened the victim.

The victim was asked to sit in the front seat of his car, and the 38-year-old man drove him to another place with another man, 36, in the back.

The police found the victim's car and when the 38-year-old saw them, he ran away in the car with the victim and the 36-year-old man.

The police chased the car, which crashed into a lamppost at an intersection.

After the crash, the 36-year-old man ran away, and the 38-year-old man was arrested with a parang.

The 36-year-old man and two women, 30 and 38, were arrested later.
