IPOH, on September 5, saw police arrest 11 locals in connection with a machete attack on a 26-year-old victim, leaving him seriously injured. According to Perak Police Chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin, the assailants approached the victim around 10:30 am in Taman Pengkalan Jaya, chased and assaulted him before he jumped into the Sungai Kinta river to escape.
One of the suspects, wielding a machete, then slashed the victim, causing injuries to his face, hands, legs, and back. The victim was later rescued by members of the public and taken to the hospital for treatment.

They were remanded to assist in the investigation under Section 326 of the Penal Code.
Additionally, Mohd Alwi called upon anyone with information on illegal activities linked to organized crime groups to report it through official police channels or the nearest police station.
