KUALA LUMPUR: Police are searching for an 18-year-old male teenager suspected of injuring a three-year-old boy at a house in Batu Muda here.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said efforts are underway to locate the teenager, who is the son of the child's babysitter.
"The case is being investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001," he said when contacted on Thursday (Dec 18).
It is understood that the incident came to light when the toddler's mother arrived to pick up her child from the babysitter's house on Tuesday (Dec 16) and noticed that her son's left eye was bruised.
The child's parents then took him to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment before lodging a police report at the Jinjang police station. – Bernama
