KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 (Bernama) -- A man lost five fingers on his left hand after being attacked by five individuals armed with machetes and swords.
The incident occurred early this morning in front of a restaurant along Jalan PJS 1½ in Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya, Selangor.
Subang Jaya Police Chief ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said they dispatched police officers to the scene after receiving an emergency call at 1.54 am.
“Investigations revealed that at the time of the incident, the victim and several friends were preparing to head home after dining at the restaurant when a white Toyota Vios carrying five attackers arrived at the location.
