SEREMBAN: A 32-year-old police inspector ran amok here, injuring two hotel employees and vandalising several cars in Seremban 2.

It is learnt that the officer, who is attached to the Commercial Crime Division, had gone to a hotel on Monday night and booked a room before running amok hours later.

Sources revealed that during the incident early yesterday, the officer had attacked the hotel staff, believed to be due to an argument over the use of the weapon.

He then dashed outside and damaged several parked cars.

"Two hotel employees have been admitted to hospital with severe injuries," said the sources.

It is also learnt that authorities are checking to see how the officer had got his hands on the weapon which belonged to another policeman.

The officer, who had returned his own gun to the station early this month, was believed to be under the influence of drugs.
