  "account": "A 22-year-old student from Kerala was injured in a knife attack that erupted after an argument between her and an unidentified male walker at Kanakadasa Park in Domlur, Bengaluru on Tuesday night. The incident took place around 8 p.m. when the woman was seated with her male friend, also a Kerala student, in the park. They were approached by the walker, who questioned why they were seated there, claiming people could misuse the park. The woman's friend confronted the man about his remarks, leading to an argument between the two. During the altercation, the accused allegedly pulled out a knife and attempted to attack the male student. The woman stepped in to stop the attacker and suffered a minor injury to her lip. She was quickly taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The assailant fled the scene after the incident. Police registered a case at the Halasuru police station, but the identity of the accused has not yet been determined. Efforts are underway to locate him.",
