According to a police report lodged by Safiq at the Larkin police station here, the incident happened at about 10.05pm yesterday after he had collected some belongings at the JDT training centre in Sri Gelam.
He said two men on a motorcycle came close to his car and that one of them took out a hammer and hammered his windscreen, causing it to crack.
“I was shocked and immediately stopped the car… both of them stopped in front of my car and showed the hammer to me and I quickly reversed the car.
“Soon after, both left the place and since the rear windscreen was broken, I lodged a police report,” he said.
