MALAYSIA: A violent incident occurred in Malaysia, as a man was stabbed outside his home in Kuantan, witnessed by two young children.
According to Sinar Harian, the 38-year-old victim was attacked by a 25-year-old suspect who was reportedly seeking revenge, said Kuantan District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Ashari Abu Samah.
The attack took place around 7pm on 31 October, when the suspect arrived at the victim’s house and told him to come outside, claiming that a “friend” wanted to meet him.
A video of the incident, which has since gone viral, shows the two men arguing before the suspect allegedly pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed the victim before fleeing.
Victim Sustains Abdominal Injuries
Reports indicated that the victim had refused to comply with the suspect’s demand. He suffered abdominal injuries and is currently receiving treatment at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan.
Police later arrested the suspect and seized a 5-inch knife believed to have been used in the assault. Investigations revealed that the attack was motivated by revenge — the victim had previously lodged a police report against the suspect for alleged drug-related activities.
The case is being investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon.
