The police have arrested a 39-year-old man after he allegedly attacked a 12-year-old girl with an iron hammer on Saturday (July 26) at a flat in Johor.
According to a statement shared on their Facebook page, the Johor Bahru Selatan district police shared that they received a report about the incident at about 5:19pm and made the arrest at about 7:25pm on the same day.
They wrote, “Acting on information, on the same day at approximately 7:25pm, a team of police officers from the Tun Aminah Police Station of the Johor Bahru Utara Police Headquarters, successfully arrested a suspect, a 39-year-old local man, at his residence in the Johor Bahru area.”
“The 12-year-old local girl was taken to the Sultan Aminah Hospital, Johor Bahru, and is currently reported to be in a stable condition. The victim suffered a skin tear on her head and a bruise on her right hand as a result of the attack.”
Investigations found that the suspect has various past criminal records, including drug-related offences, and a urine test showed that he was positive for meth. He has since been remanded for 7 days to help with the investigations into this incident.
