SUBANG: A 47-year-old man was seriously injured after allegedly being attacked by his girlfriend's ex-husband and two accomplices in Puchong.
Subang Jaya deputy OCPD Supt Mohd Fairus Jaafar said the incident occurred around 2.15am on Saturday (May 24) at an apartment in Taman Puchong Intan.
"We received a call from a woman claiming that her boyfriend was attacked at her residence. Initial investigation showed that the victim and the woman have been living together.
"The ex-husband and two other men, in their 30s and 40s, came to the house before assaulting the victim using a knife and an iron rod," he said in a statement on Saturday (May 24).
The victim suffered various injuries to his head and body and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he is reported to be in stable condition.
"We believe the motive behind the attack was jealousy and unresolved domestic issues between the woman and her former spouse," he added.
Supt Mohd Fairus said the case is being investigated under Section 326 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt with dangerous weapons, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years imprisonment, a fine, or whipping upon conviction.
"We are in the midst of tracking the suspects. We urge those with information on the case to contact Subang Jaya police at 03-7862 7222 or Insp G. Dinesh at 011-3309 4457."
