A MAN was stabbed during a scuffle with a friend Taman Dusun Setia, Seremban yesterday.

District police chief Nanda Maarof said the incident occurred at about 8.30pm when the victim, identified as Mohd Shahrizad Abu Kaseh, 30, went to a friend’s house to collect his debt.

He said the friend, aged 28, borrowed some money from the victim last week and had promised to pay back after getting his salary.

However, when the victim went to collect his debt, a verbal exchange broke out between him and the friend, who was holding a sharp object.

It led to a scuffle that ended with the victim accidentally stabbed on his right chest with a sharp object, he said in a statement today.

He said Shahrizad was sent to Tuanku Ja’afar Seremban Hospital for treatment, while his friend fled after the incident.

Police are now looking for the friend, he added. – Bernama, January 12, 2022.
