Police are investigating the alleged assault of a Sarawak deputy minister on Tuesday.
Sarawak police commissioner Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri said the deputy minister, who is not identified, was attacked near his home at Tabuan Jaya at 9.06pm on May 30.
“In his complaint, he said he confronted four suspects, believed to be local, because they were acting suspiciously.
“One of them was not happy with this and tried to attack (the deputy minister), causing injuries in the form of a scratch and pain on his back,” Azman (above) said in a statement yesterday.
The case is being investigated under Section 323/506 of the Penal Code, he said.
Urging against public speculation, he called on those with information to contact investigating officer Rathna Borhan at 019-8176267.
Earlier, Sinar Harian reported the deputy minister sought hospital treatment for his injuries before lodging a police report.
