The victim claimed the man then punched him in the face.
He was given initial treatment at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital and was diagnosed with soft tissue injury by a doctor from the Emergency and Trauma Department, there.
It is learnt that police seized his mobile phone and vehicle dashboard camera to assist in the investigation.
