Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Datuk Seri Abdul Hamid Bador said the men were detained to facilitate investigation into the incident.
According to him, stern action will be taken if the men are found guilty.
“Action will be taken against anybody who breaks the law. This is not about race or nationality.
