KUALA LUMPUR: A man was arrested on suspicion of stabbing his one-year-old daughter in an apartment in Puchong Permai yesterday afternoon.
Subang Jaya District Police Chief Abd Khalid Othman said the arrest was made after a motorcycle patrol unit from the Bukit Puchong Police Station received a complaint from the public at around 4.30 p.m.
In a statement, it said that when police arrived at the scene, they detained a 27-year-old man who is the baby’s father and seized a bread knife believed to have been used to stab the victim in the abdomen.
“The baby was rushed to Serdang Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition. The police have registered witness statements for further investigation, ”he said.
Khalid said initial investigations revealed that the suspect acted in such a way because he lost his temper and that a urine test was performed to determine if he was under the influence of drugs at the time.
