PETALING JAYA : Five students at a vocational college in Kemaman, Terengganu, have been arrested on suspicion of beating up another student in a dormitory yesterday.
Kemaman police chief Razi Rosli said the suspects, all aged 17, were arrested at 5pm after the victim, also 17, filed a complaint at about noon yesterday.
The incident occurred at about 12.30am, Kosmo reported.
'The incident is believed to have been sparked by the victim who was unhappy that one of the suspects had kicked his bed to wake him up,' the report quoted Razi as saying.
The victim and the first suspect got into an argument before the others got involved and started beating up the victim.
The victim was sent to a clinic for a checkup.
The five students have been remanded until tomorrow to assist in the investigation under Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting.
