Mangaluru, Jan 1: Miscreants inflicted injury on a youth before fleeing. The incident happened on Sunday December 31, near Kulai in the outskirts of the city.
The injured person was Muhammed Safaz (18) from Kaverikallu. He happens to be a student of a city-based college.
Safaz had visited the family of a relative living at Maindaguri, Kulai, on Sunday. He was returning to Vidyanagar in his two-wheeler when two strangers, who were moving on this route, stopped him and sought to know his name. After he told them his name, they stabbed him with a knife and then escaped from the scene, it is learnt.
Safaz, who received injuries to his hand, was admitted into a private hospital at Suratkal and is being treated there. Reportedly the two-wheeler, in which the unidentified assailants were travelling, did not have a number plate.
