BAU, on August 24th — A 40-year-old man was left with facial and wrist injuries after a noise dispute turned violent outside a home in Kampung Serikin, near Sarawak. According to Bau District police chief Supt Mohd Haide A. Rahman, the conflict began around 1pm when the complainant engaged in a heated argument with the suspect over the latter's continuous noise-making.
"The dispute escalated from words to physical violence when the suspect pulled out a knife concealed in his waistband and swung it at the victim, striking his left cheek," Rahman explained. The victim also suffered a minor cut on his left wrist as he tried to fend off the knife during the assault. Supt Rahman noted that the suspect has been identified and the knife has been taken as evidence.
The police are currently looking into the matter under Section 324 of the Penal Code, which deals with causing hurt using dangerous weapons or means.
