IPOH: A Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination candidate sustained cuts to his shoulder after being attacked with a knife by a classmate at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Hutan Melintang today.

Hilir Perak police chief ACP Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said before the 10am incident, a teacher spotted a group of students with one of them pointing a knife at the victim B. Paravinen Kumar.

“A moment later, the victim was seen running with blood on his right shoulder. The teacher then rushed to the staff room and alerted other teachers,” he told Bernama when contacted here.
