SIBU: Three in a family and a buddy got embroiled in a fight after two of them lost a football bet over RM20 on Saturday night.
Prior to the squabble, a couple and three children were watching a football match at 11pm at their rented house in Lanang Road while a friend of the father joined in later.
A 16-year-old son is said to have placed a bet with his father and the friend.
The over-exuberant teenager then demanded RM20 from them after they lost the bet.
When they dismissed his demand, the boy put up a struggle with his father and the friend.
His father sustained an injury to his forehead while his friend’s eyes were injured.
The father and another 24-year-old son pursued the quarrel with the winning teen.
The angry father took a knife from the kitchen and allegedly assaulted his boy, whose abdomen was slightly injured.
A call to police ended with the foursome taken back to the station for investigations.
According to police, the four are being placed under a three-day remand beginning yesterday.
