Hulk smash as Malaysian officer rips car door off its hinges

A Malaysian police officer’s superhero moment has gone viral after dashcam footage showed him wrenching open a suspect’s car door with his bare hands during a chase.\nThe two-minute clip, widely shared on social media, shows a car being driven against the flow of traffic on a busy road in Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah on Malaysian Borneo, before it is intercepted by police.\nIn the video, the suspect’s vehicle screeches to a halt as an officer repeatedly orders the driver to step out. When the driver refuses, the police officer grips the door and rips it open with superhero-like force.\nSeveral motorists then stop their cars and rush over to help restrain the suspect, while others watch from the roadside.\nPolice said later the chase and arrest happened on December 12 after a 56-year-old woman reported her bag, containing cash, bank cards and personal documents, had been snatched earlier that afternoon.\n\nPolice Ripped Car Door In Sabah\nbyu/Medium-Impression190 inmalaysia\n\nThe clip quickly racked up thousands of views and shares, turning the unnamed officer into an unlikely internet sensation.\n“I think this policeman has Superman DNA. The car door opened like a banana leaf,” one social media user wrote, joking that if the officer had swung a punch at the driver, “he might have flown”.\nAnother asked: “Was that officer the Hulk, or was the car body just very soft?”\nKota Kinabalu district police chief Kasim Muda said officers arrested two local men, aged 28 and 22, in connection with the theft reported in Telipok town at about 2pm on December 12. The victim had estimated her total losses at about 1,500 ringgit (US$370).\nInvestigators discovered the suspects were using a rental car equipped with a GPS tracking system. Following the signal, officers found the car the same day, triggering the chase seen in the viral footage.\n“The suspects’ vehicle skidded off the road, and both men were successfully detained,” Kasim said.\nThe stolen items have been recovered and the men are being held on suspicion of theft.\n
