SIBU: A 34-year-old man from Selangau suffered injuries on his right shoulder and left ear after he was slashed using sharp object by his foster father during a fight.

The victim and the suspect had earlier attended a drinking session with friends at a longhouse in Selangau on Sunday night.

A quarrel ensued between them in which the suspect took a sharp object and attacked the victim.

Longhouse residents had to interfere to stop the suspect from attacking the victim further.

An ambulance from Selangau clinic was called to the longhouse and later sent the victim to Sibu Hospital.

Police were also alerted and the suspect was detained.

In an unrelated case, a woman lost RM190 cash in her bank account after she gave her account number to a man claiming to be from a telecommunication company.

On Sunday, the woman in her late 20s received a call from the suspect who told her that her hand phone SIM card had won RM5,000 in a lucky draw.

The man asked for her bank account number so he could transfer the prize money to her.

The woman realised that she was cheated after she found out RM190 missing from her account when she checked it on the same day.

She lodged police report yesterday.
