Nigerian Man Shot Dead After Cutting Off Malaysian Police Officer’s Hand as Video Emerges
A Nigerian man has been shot dead by Malaysian police after allegedly attacking officers with machetes and cutting off the right hand of a police officer during a violent confrontation in Malaysia.
The incident reportedly happened on Wednesday, November 11, at Desa Aman Puri, Kepong, after police received a distress call about a man behaving aggressively at a residential property.
According to Malaysian news agency Bernama, officers arrived at the scene alongside firefighters and medical personnel but encountered the Nigerian national armed with two machetes.
During the confrontation, a 26-year-old police lance corporal sustained serious injuries, including the loss of his right hand.
The suspect reportedly escaped from the scene but was later traced to a nearby playground, where he allegedly attacked officers again as they attempted to arrest him.
Police subsequently opened fire, injuring the suspect, who was taken to hospital but later died.
Meanwhile, the injured Malaysian police officer was rushed to Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where surgeons reportedly spent seven hours performing an operation to reattach his severed hand.
Selangor Police Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar also disclosed that an acquaintance of the suspect had previously filed a report suggesting that the Nigerian was believed to have a mental disorder. However, no independent medical confirmation of the claim has been established.
The incident has attracted attention following the circulation of video footage showing the violent confrontation.
