Malaysian police shoot dead a machete-wielding man after an attack in Kepong in which a police officer’s hand is severed. The incident is reported to have taken place at a residential property in Desa Aman Puri (also styled Desa Amanpuri) on Wednesday, November 11.
Across outlets, the suspect is described as a foreigner and is identified in Nigerian reporting as a Nigerian man named only “Chibuzo.” Coverage describes him as leaving a residential unit armed with two machetes and attacking police, with one officer’s right wrist/hand reportedly cut off. South China Morning Post adds that the attack involved police officers, firefighters and health ministry staff, and cites the Selangor police chief Commissioner Shazeli Kahar, including that police shot the suspect after spotting him near a playground. Other coverage emphasizes the officer’s injury and the suspect’s alleged severing of the hand.
