A 51-year-old man was left injured after being assaulted by five men during a game of snooker at a club in Kuantan, Pahang, yesterday.
Kuantan police chief Wan Zahari Wan Busu said the incident was believed to have been caused by a misunderstanding between the victim and his assailants during the game.
He said the men had exchanged several remarks while they were playing and the situation soon escalated with the victim being hit on his head and arm with bottles, Harian Metro reported.
“The case is being probed under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt using dangerous weapons. Police are actively tracking down the suspects involved,” he was quoted as saying.
Wan Zahari also called for witnesses to come forward and assist in the investigation.
