KUALA LUMPUR: A manhunt is on for two machete-wielding men who attacked two people in Brickfields here.

Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said that the four had got into a fight outside an entertainment outlet along Jalan Tun Sambanthan around 2.15am.

"Witnesses saw the first victim arguing with one of the suspects along the road there. Then a second suspect attacked both victims with a machete and a piece of metal.
