The clash took place at the 1 Utama Shopping Centre’s outdoor car park, and was caught on video, which has since gone viral online.
The incident, which occurred over the weekend, saw hundreds of festival-goers engaged in a physical fight, disrupting what was supposed to be a light-hearted, water-themed celebration.
Viral Clip Shows Chaos Unfolding
The viral 56-second video saw individuals fighting in the rain, hurling plastic chairs and barricades at each other.
Some individuals were also seen exchanging punches in the open. One person was even seen tossing a metal barrier during the brawl.
No Public Reports, But Police Step In
Although the incident happened in a public area, according to Malay Mail, Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja’far confirmed that no police reports have been filed regarding this incident.
However, in order to initiate an official investigation, he instructed the Damansara police station chief to file a report on the matter.
This move allows authorities to proceed with the investigation despite the absence of public complaints.
No Injuries or Arrests Reported
