The motorcycle he had used in the incident belonged to his brother after police tracked it to an address in Sri Damansara.

She then asked the police to send him to the Sungai Buloh Hospital to treat his mental problems,” ACP Nik Ros Azhan said.In the 4.45 incident on Wednesday, a worker at the church informed its security manager that a man had sprayed black paint on several statues as well as the church floor. – Bernama
