Malaysian actor Danny Lee, known for his role as Mark Lee’s son in the Diam Diam Era films by Jack Neo, took to Instagram on December 3 to share a harrowing experience.
The actor, based in Taiwan, detailed a violent encounter that occurred on Dec 2, leaving him with a bruised face and cut lip.
Background
Danny Lee, at 33, has gained recognition for his roles, particularly as actor Mark Lee’s son in films by home-grown film-maker Jack Neo. The Diam Diam Era series has brought him into the limelight, making the incident even more shocking for fans who associate him with on-screen roles.
The Fateful Night
The night began innocently enough, with Lee and his girlfriend leaving a restaurant after attending a friend’s birthday party.
However, a simple misstep, bumping into a parked car, quickly escalated into a nightmare. Lee found himself apologizing to the occupants of the car, only to be met with aggression from a man who accused him of inappropriate behavior.
Attempts to explain the misunderstanding only fueled the man’s anger. He emerged from the car, kicking Lee to the ground and subjecting him to a brutal assault.
He repeatedly punched Lee’s face and he could feel himself slowly starting to lose consciously as he tried to get back on his feet.
Lee, in self-defense, fought back, biting the assailant’s arm. The situation took a darker turn when the man retrieved a baton from his car, posing an even greater threat.
Heroic Intervention
The turning point came when patrolling police officers arrived on the scene, saving Lee from further harm. The attacker was subdued, and immediate action was taken, preventing a potentially tragic outcome.
In his Instagram post, Lee expressed profound gratitude for the timely assistance, acknowledging that the situation could have been far worse without the intervention.
Amidst the shock and confusion, Lee took to social media to share his perspective. He expressed bewilderment at the unprovoked attack, emphasizing that he had no intention of causing trouble. His post resonates with vulnerability and raises questions about the unpredictability of such incidents.
The incident is now under police investigation.
