In brief
A man in his 30s was knifed in the back while working at the Kuala Lumpur Wholesale Market, and nobody knows why. Police have a stable victim, a viral 47-second video and no suspect, so the motive is still the open question. Originally reported by Malay Mail.
Stabbed at the market
A man in his 30s was wounded in the back at the Kuala Lumpur Wholesale Market. The attacker used a sharp metal object and has not been identified.
8.40 in the morning
Sentul acting district police chief Supt Jasni Zolpa said it happened around 8.40am. The victim was on shift at the market at the time.
“The incident occurred at about 8.40am while the man was working at the market”
Stable at Selayang
Paramedics took him to Selayang Hospital for treatment. Police say he is in stable condition.
“The victim was taken to Selayang Hospital for further treatment and is in stable condition”
A friend made the report
The police report came not from the victim but from a friend, lodged at 1.30pm the following day. That gap left officers playing catch-up.
“The victim's friend also lodged a police report about the incident at 1.30pm today”
The video came first
A 47-second clip spread on social media before the police statement, showing a man in a green shirt doubled over in pain after the blade went in.
Motive still unknown
No suspect, no stated reason. Sentul police say investigations are continuing to work out why the man was attacked.
“Further investigations are underway to determine the motive for the incident”
What to remember
Police have a stable victim, a viral 47-second video and no suspect, so the motive is still the open question.
