"Our special task force managed to identify the suspect and grabbed him at his house," he told the New Straits Times when contacted today.
Mazlan said the victim had previous convictions and police were investigating the motive.
"Police will ask for a remand order to facilitate our investigation," he said adding that the case was classified under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and Section 4 of the Corrosive, Explosive, and Dangerous Weapons Act 1958.
On Monday, a 21-year-old Chinese national and a local woman were injured in their legs after being hit by fragments of explosive thrown from a car onto another car.
The force of the explosion damaged the rear of the vehicles and caused havoc as many in the vicinity thought a bomb had gone off.
