An Indonesian woman confronted a Bangladeshi construction worker at his work site in Bukit Mertajam, Penang yesterday morning (Feb 4).

The worker in his 30s was on a motorbike with his compatriot when he was attacked.

According to the Seberang Perai Tengah police chief ACP Rusli Mohd Noor, the women splashed him with a substance believed to be petrol.

She then lit a piece of cloth and threw it in the direction of the two men.
