IPOH: A man has been arrested after his wife lodged a police report saying he abused her and their two children.
Shahrul Rizal Abdul Hamid, 36, pulled the hair of his 13-year-old daughter at their home in Taman Seri Emas, Kuala Kangsar on May 15.
His wife tried to stop him but was slapped on her left cheek. He then dragged her by the hair and slammed her head into a chair.
Kuala Kangsar OCPD Asst Comm Razali Ibrahim said, upon seeing this, the frightened child ran into a room, with her father following.
There, he started to throw clothes at her.
"When the mother again tried to stop the suspect, he twisted her left hand, punched her in the stomach, hit her head against the wall, dragged her across the floor and started choking her.
