SHAH ALAM: The foreign national who attacked a policeman, leaving him with a severed wrist, in Desa Aman Puri, Kepong, last Wednesday is believed to have had a mental disorder.

Selangor Police Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the information came from a report lodged by an acquaintance of the suspect.

“According to the report, the suspect was believed to have a mental disorder and was behaving aggressively at the residential unit.

“This prompted police and personnel from the Fire and Rescue Department and the Ministry of Health (MOH) to step in, assess the situation and take the necessary action,” he told a press conference at the Selangor Police Contingent Headquarters here today.
