Recklessly endangering safety of boy.
An unemployed youth who allegedly put his three-year-old nephew in a washing machine at a self-service laundrette in Bukit Sentosa, Rawang, last week, found himself in the dock at the Kuala Kubu Baru Magistrate’s Court today.
A video of the incident went viral on social media. The one-minute clip showed other customers coming to the rescue of the boy when there was difficulty opening the door of the front-loading washing, which was not started.
Muhammad Irwan Abdul Jalil, 27, however, claimed trial before Sessions Court judge Muntapha Abas who acted as the magistrate.
He was charged with recklessly endangering the safety of the boy by putting him into a washing machine at Laundrybar located at No. 11 &11-1, Jalan Orkid 1G/2, Seksyen BS1, Bandar Bukit Sentosa, Hulu Selangor, at 12.30am on October 2. – Malay Mail
