Rioters Engaged in Violent Actions Against Emergency Responders

Rioters at the Sri Maha Mariamman Devasthanam temple in USJ 25 took aggressive actions against emergency responders, leading to the injury of a firefighter. The rioters surrounded a fire engine and an Emergency Response System (EMRS) machine, throwing stones at the emergency personnel and attempting to cause them harm. During a retreat ordered due to the uncontrollable situation, a fireman named Muhammad Adib was pulled from the EMRS vehicle by the mob and subsequently attacked, sustaining serious injuries.
Assault on Firefighting Personnel

Emergency responders arriving at the scene to extinguish a fire involving burning cars were met with hostility. A fire engine carrying seven members and an EMRS machine with two members were dispatched. Upon arrival around 1 am, these vehicles were surrounded by a group of rioters who commenced throwing stones. The attackers explicitly attempted to injure the on-duty emergency personnel.
Physical Attack and Abduction of Muhammad Adib

The situation escalated to a direct physical assault on an individual firefighter. As the emergency personnel were ordered to retreat due to the volatile environment, Muhammad Adib, who was seated in the front passenger seat of the EMRS vehicle, was forcibly pulled out by the rioters. The driver of the vehicle was reportedly unaware of this abduction at the time.
Serious Injuries and Critical Condition

The attack on Muhammad Adib resulted in severe injuries, leaving him in critical condition. After the EMRS vehicle returned to the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Centre, it was discovered that Muhammad Adib was missing. Public members informed the rescuers that he was en route to the hospital. Muhammad Adib is currently receiving intensive care at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre, under the observation of five specialist physicians, and is reliant on life support machines.
Damage to Emergency Vehicles

The rioters' actions also caused significant damage to the emergency response vehicles. Both the fire engine and the EMRS machine sustained damage, including broken front windshields and doors. Despite the trauma experienced by some firefighters who survived the incident, they were called upon for reinstatement to ensure the continuation of duty.
