PETALING JAYA: Two men in their 30s have been arrested in connection with a brutal parang attack on a restaurant customer in Jalan Raja Uda, Butterworth, last Friday.
Police are also seeking another man to assist in the investigation, Bernama reported.
The 41-year-old victim was seriously injured. The attack, by three masked men armed with parangs, came as he was about to alight from his car when he and a friend arrived at a restaurant for a meal at about 7.20pm.
“The victim attempted to flee but was hit by the suspects’ car and attacked by three masked men armed with parangs,” acting Seberang Perai Utara police chief C Tharmalingam said in a statement.
The victim managed to escape to a nearby private clinic for treatment. He was later taken to hospital and is now in stable condition.
