Cops shoot amok in leg
KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 4, 2013): Police were forced to open fire to subdue a mentally-deranged man who ran amok and injured a bystander with a parang in Jalan Riong, Bangsar, today.
City police chief senior DCP Datuk Mohmad Salleh said the 36-year-old suspect went berserk after entering a restaurant at about 11am.
He said the suspect swung his parang, causing customers to scurry to safety.
He said a 59-year-old partially-blind man who was at the restaurant suffered slash wounds when the suspect attacked him.
Policemen rushed to the scene on being alerted and tried to coax the man to give himself up. However, when the suspect became more aggressive, a policeman fired a shot, hitting the suspect on his leg.
The man is being warded in hospital for his injuries.
