It did not take long for toll concessionaire Grand Saga to rebuild a concrete barricade to block a toll-free access road to the Cheras-Kajang Highway in Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC).
The task of building the five-foot high wall across the double-lane access road started at about 1am and was completed by 3.30pm today.But tensions rose when BMC residents who attempted to tear down the wall clashed with a group of men purported hired by Grand Saga to protect the barricade.
According to residents, about a dozen people were injured after they were assaulted by 30 'thugs'.
By about 10pm, some 400 to 500 residents had gathered at the site, attempting to remove the concrete barriers.
According to eye-witnesses, about three or four such boulders have been torn down.
It is also learnt that two residents have been admitted at Kajang hospital after suffering injuries caused by the thugs. One of them is said to have suffered facial injuries and a broken hand.
