KUALA LUMPUR: A man armed with a parang was shot dead while trying to attack three police personnel at Taman Muhibbah, Kajang Friday afternoon.

In the incident at about 2.51pm, the suspect, a 34-year-old local man, was pronounced dead after receiving treatment at the Kajang Hospital about four hours later.

Kajang District Police Chief ACP Othman Nanyan said before the incident, the suspect had attacked two men in the area.

"Police was alerted about the incident by a member of the public and three policemen were deployed to the location and to his house.



"As soon as they arrived at the suspect's house and introduced themselves, the man suddenly punched one of them," he said.

ACP Othman said the suspect then ran back into the house and came out again with a parang before running towards the policemen. When he was asked to surrender, he kept running towards the police and was subsequently shot by the police in self-defence. - Bernama
