Without much room to escape, the staff could only deflect the blows using a plastic chair.

However, the lady did not flinch one bit as she continued speaking to the attacker while holding one of his wrists.

The other attacker, however, managed to locate the man in blue and proceeded to give chase.

Seeing this, his accomplice broke free of the lady’s hold and chased after the victim too.

Attack apparently happened after drink dispute

According to the New Straits Times, police arrested two men aged 44 and 47 over their suspected involvement in the incident.

The arrest took place in the early hours of Wednesday. One of the attackers reportedly tested positive for drugs.

As for what led to the attack, police investigation reportedly found that one of the attackers was upset that the victim – a waiter at the kopitiam – scolded him for making a scene when his drink was served late.

The customer was chased out of the establishment but returned later with his friend with parangs in hand.

The attack reportedly left the waiter with a fractured index finger and injuries to his right knee.

Kudos to the Malaysian police for the swift arrest. We wish the victim a smooth and swift recovery.
