Dual machete-wielding man who severed cop's hand shot dead

By Timothy Prakash

A MAN believed to be a foreign national, who allegedly attacked enforcement personnel with a machete in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong, died after being shot by police during an attempt to arrest him last night.

Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said officers tracked down the suspect near a playground close to the apartment where the initial attack occurred, between 7.30pm and 8pm.

However, the suspect allegedly turned aggressive and launched another machete attack when police moved in to apprehend him, prompting officers to discharge their firearms in an effort to protect themselves and bring him under control.

Shazeli said several shots were fired, injuring the suspect. Police subsequently attempted to rush him to hospital for medical attention, but he was pronounced dead upon arrival at Selayang Hospital.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old police lance corporal who suffered a severed hand during the earlier attack was reported to be in stable condition and undergoing surgery at Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

The suspect had earlier emerged from a residential unit at about 7pm, armed with two machetes, before attacking police officers, firefighters and Health Ministry personnel who were at the apartment.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim also condemned the assault, expressing concern over the incident and wishing the injured police officer a speedy recovery in a Facebook post.

He said any form of violence or criminal activity, particularly attacks against enforcement personnel carrying out their responsibilities to protect the public, must not be tolerated.

Anwar also called for decisive action against criminal offences, regardless of who was responsible, stressing the need to uphold the rule of law and ensure the safety of enforcement personnel.
