A policeman had part of his ear bitten off by a Nigerian man during a scuffle after being arrested at a clinic in Metro Prima, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa stated that the incident occurred at 10.03 am on Friday, April 25, 2025 when the corporal responded to a distress call about a foreign man causing a disturbance at a clinic.
“Investigations revealed that the 38-year-old suspect was causing a nuisance at the clinic and was detained by officers from Kepong police station. The corporal was instructed to assist in transporting the suspect back to the Sentul district police headquarters (IPD).
“While escorting the suspect to the back seat of the patrol car, the suspect, with his hands cuffed behind, suddenly acted aggressively and refused to cooperate. The suspect then bit the victim’s left ear, severing part of it,” he said in a statement today.
Rusdi added that the corporal was receiving treatment for his torn ear at Kuala Lumpur Hospital and the case was being investigated under Section 325/353 of the Penal Code and Section 15(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63.
