A MAN allegedly assaulted his older brother after dissatisfaction at being reprimanded for arguing with their mother.

Brickfields district police chief Amihizam Abdul Shukor said in the 4am incident at their residence in Taman Bukit Angkasa, the victim suffered injuries and bruises to his back, right shoulder and left hand.

He said the suspect argued with his mother for taking too long to come out of the bathroom, leading to his brother telling him off.

“The victim, 24, reprimanded his younger sibling for verbally abusing their mother. The suspect then hit the victim with a rubber hose and an iron rod and also injured him with a knife. 

“The suspect, 23, has been arrested and is found to have three criminal and drug-related records,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Police also seized the weapons believed to have been used to injure his brother.

He said the suspect has been remanded for four days under section 117 of the criminal procedure code and the case is being investigated under section 324 of the penal code for voluntarily causing hurt by using dangerous weapons. – Bernama, April 17, 2023.
