PADANG BESAR (Bernama): A man was shot dead after he allegedly attacked police with a machete in Jalan Kaki Bukit here on Thursday (July 15).

Padang Besar district police chief Supt Saifudin Aslin Abbas said a police team went to a house there at about 5.30pm after receiving a domestic violence report at that address.

"The 55-year-old suspect refused to come out, forcing the police to enter the house through the windows. "The suspect, who was armed with a machete, injured a policeman, forcing the police to fire a warning shot. "However, the suspect continued to act aggressively and this forced the police to fire a second shot in self-defence and to protect the suspect's children who were at the scene," he told reporters on Friday .

He said the suspect died at the scene and the body was taken to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Setar for a post-mortem. – Bernama
