SHAH ALAM, March 30 — An elderly man was injured on the face and body after being attacked with a knife, believed to have stemmed from a misunderstanding at an eatery in the Kapar area in Klang yesterday.
North Klang district police chief ACP S. Vijaya Rao said in the 6.09am incident, the complainant and the victim, his 69-year-old local friend, were approached by a group of men at the premises.
The misunderstanding began when the complainant ignored remarks made by the group, which led one of the suspects to pull out a knife and swing it at the victim.
“Before leaving, the group also issued a criminal threat to shoot the complainant in the near future. The victim is currently in stable condition and receiving treatment at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang,” he said in a statement today.
Vijaya added that, acting on information, the police arrested one of the suspects yesterday, and checks revealed that the individual had eight criminal records and three drug-related records. He has been remanded for three days to assist in the investigation.
The police are actively tracking down the remaining two suspects, and members of the public with information are urged to come forward to the nearest police station or contact investigating officer Insp Dayang Siti Aishah Awang Ramli at 010-5825382.
The case is being investigated under Section 324 and Section 506 of the Penal Code.
