The incident unfolded around 12.10am on July 3, when four masked men, each armed with a machete, attempted to ambush a vehicle parked at the petrol station near the Second Link Expressway.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the brazen attack, which has gone viral on social media, showed the men smashing the windows of a parked car.

In response, one of the car's passengers fired several gunshots, forcing the attackers to flee. Three suspects ran back to their getaway vehicle, while the fourth escaped on foot.

Johor police chief commissioner M. Kumar confirmed the discovery of a body at Sultanah Aminah Hospital about an hour after the robbery attempt.
