Northeast police chief Rozak Muhammad said the 57-year-old male driver filed a report, and investigations confirmed that the incident occurred at 3.30pm on Aug 13.
“While the complainant was driving from Air Itam towards Jalan Pangkor and passing through Jalan Macalister, an arrow, believed to have come from an archery activity, suddenly lodged itself onto the right rear door of his car.
“The man was unharmed in the incident, and the case is being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code for mischief,” he said in a statement.
Rozak said checks revealed that an archery training activity organised by the Penang State Sports Council (MSN) was being held at a school field adjacent to Jalan Macalister. The activity was halted on Aug 14 after the incident was reported.
He said the matter was also reported to the Penang MSN and the state education department by the school.
A viral 51-second video showed the shocked driver after discovering the arrow lodged in his car.
