GOMBAK: A policeman whose right wrist was severed in a parang attack at an apartment in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong, is undergoing surgery at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) in an effort to reattach the severed limb.
Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the 26-year-old Lance Corporal, who serves with the mobile patrol vehicle unit at the Gombak district police headquarters, was reported to be in stable condition.
He said the victim, who also sustained several injuries to his head and body, was initially taken to Hospital Selayang for emergency treatment before being transferred to HKL for surgery.
"I ask everyone to pray that the hand can be reattached, as he is undergoing surgery at Hospital Kuala Lumpur in an effort to save it," he said at a press conference at Hospital Selayang tonight.
