Police have arrested 16 suspects and are searching for more following an altercation in Sungai Darah last night which saw part of a man’s hand being chopped off.
According to Selangor Criminal Investigation Department chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Fadzil Ahmat, the fight erupted between two groups during a chariot procession at a Hindu temple in Bestari Jaya temple in Kuala Selangor.
Police are in the midst of identifying the gangs involved in the 9.15pm incident.
“As the procession was going on, an argument between two groups erupted over the installation of a tent, which ended with a fight with machetes.
“A member of the public sustained injuries in which part of their left palm was severed and is being treated at Sungai Buloh Hospital,” Fadzil said.
He added that a 34-year-old police officer on duty that night also sustained injuries to his hand when trying to calm the group down. The officer had been treated and required six stitches.
Aside from the 16 suspects, police also confiscated five sharp weapons.
“The situation at the scene is completely under control. Several suspects have been identified and are being pursued,” he added. - Mkini
