SIBU: A Molotov cocktail was hurled at a four-wheel-drive vehicle, causing a fire which affected another 4-wheel-drive vehicle and a cab at a parking lot in front of a hotel in Pahlawan Road yesterday.

The owner of the ‘attacked’ vehicle, a man surnamed Ling, was said to have parked the vehicle there at 12.30am yesterday and went into the hotel with a woman.

Two men came on a motorcycle at 5.10am. One of them smashed up Ling’s vehicle with a hammer.

The noise drew the attention of a security guard who went to check it up, but was chased into the hotel by the man armed with a hammer.

Two of the guard’s colleagues ran into the hotel with him.

They were said to have seen the man hurl a Molotov cocktail at Ling’s vehicle. The area is under CCTV surveillance.

Firemen helped to put out the fire on both 4-wheel-drive vehicles.
