Fakhrudin acknowledged that the man was indeed injured after accidentally being hit by a rod used to catch stray dogs.
Last week, a video of the said man protecting his stray dogs against the the MBPJ enforcement officers went viral on social media. The man was seen being hit by a rod when he tried to protect them from being captured.
According to Fakhrudin, the elderly man tried to prevent the dogs from being caught by bringing them into his premises, which foiled the operation. That triggered a fight between him and the MBPJ enforcement officers, leading to him being accidentally hit.
The incident happened at Taman Kanagapuram, off Jalan Klang Lama on March 23, 9 pm.
