GOMBAK: A man believed to be a foreign national who severed a policeman's right wrist in an attack at an apartment in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong, this evening, died after being shot by police during an attempted arrest tonight.
Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the suspect was shot after he again attacked police with a parang when located near a playground, not far from the apartment, between 7.30pm and 8pm.
"In an effort to defend themselves and arrest the suspect, police fired several shots at him.
"However, the shots only injured the suspect. Upon seeing his condition, police tried to take him to hospital for treatment," he said at a press conference at Selayang Hospital earlier.
