IPOH: A man sustained serious head injuries after his younger brother allegedly slashed him with a machete at a house in Ayer Tawar, Manjung, today.
Manjung police chief ACP Hasbullah Abd Rahman said the 56-year-old victim is currently being treated at Seri Manjung Hospital.
He said police received a call about 1.30pm from a member of the public reporting a fight between siblings. Investigations revealed the victim lived in the same house as the 49-year-old suspect and his family.
