KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 — A woman sustained injuries to her abdomen and left arm when her boyfriend stabbed her with a sharp weapon, at the parking lot of a condominium in Bukit Antarabangsa on Sunday (August 6).

Ampang Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail said the motive is believed to have been dissatisfaction when the victim wanted to end their relationship. The authorities were informed of the incident by the public at 2.52am, following the discovery of the injured victim in the area.

“During the incident, the 45-year-old victim was in her car when the suspect approached and punctured the tire and shattered the windshield.

“The woman fled, causing the unemployed suspect to chase her and proceed to stab her multiple times with a sharp weapon, targeting her middle and left abdomen, as well as her left arm,” he said in a statement today.

The victim was then taken to Ampang Hospital for treatment in an ambulance.

According to Mohd Azam, initial investigations revealed the victim had met the 41-year-old suspect on the dating application OMI three months ago. The suspect was reportedly dissatisfied when the victim decided to end the relationship

The police are actively searching for the suspect, who has two records of violent crimes, to help with the investigation under Section 324 of the Penal Code, which involves causing injury using a weapon. If found guilty, the suspect could face imprisonment, a fine, or whipping.
