KUALA LUMPUR: A durian seller sustained back injuries when he was stabbed by several Myanmar men near a used car outlet, here, this morning.
The 23-year-old victim had just left his home and was walking towards his car when he was attacked by a group of man.
Sentul district police chief Assistant Commissioner R Munusamy said the men had attempted to rob the victim who was carrying a pouch filled money.
“The victim resisted when the men tried to rob him about 8am and that triggered the suspects, they had then tried to stab him.
“The incident was witnessed by a mobile patrol team. With the assistance of the member of the public, the team apprehended a man, who was holding a screwdriver,” he said in a statement today.
The man was a 21-year-old United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) card holder.
Munusamy said police are tracking another two men who are still at large.
He added that the victim was sent to the Selayang Hospital where he is being treated for five stab wounds.
