Eight arrested for assault on teens in Sungai Petani over TikTok misunderstanding
SUNGAI PETANI, May 16 — The police arrested eight men over the assault on two teenage boys near Taman Kelisa Ria near here on Wednesday night.

Both victims sustained injuries on their bodies and were taken to Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital here for treatment.
