RAUB, SAT:
Six people, including three from a family, were seriously injured in two separate amok incidents here and in Temerloh yesterday.

In the first incident, a man, who is believed to be mentally retarded, slashed three men with a machete in front of his house at Taman KSN, Sungai Ruan near here at 12.30pm.

One of the victims, Hoi Koi, 54, who was slashed on the abdomen is reported to be in a critical condition at the Sultan Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh, said Raub police chief Supt Wan Mohd Samsudin Wan Osman.

Two other victims, Ng Ah Ka, 51, and Ko Kit Lung, 82, have been warded at the Raub Hospital with slash wounds on the chest and hands.

Wan Mohd Samsudin said a 36-year-old suspect, who ran into the secondary forest after the attack, was arrested at a petrol kiosk here at 3.30am.
In another incident, a drug addict slashed his mother, brother and sister-in-law, who were having dinner at a restaurant at Taman Rimba, Mentakab at 10.45pm.

The 35-year-old man was overpowered by customers and handed to police, said Temerloh police CID chief DSP R. Sundaralingam.

He said the assailant was also injured during a scuffle with the customers, who eventually overpowered him.

Police recovered a blood-stained machete at the scene.

“The victims, who suffered slash wounds on the head and hands, and the assailant have been warded at the Sultan Ahmad Shah Hospital and their condition are stable,” he said.
