The right wrist of a policeman severed in a parang attack by a foreign man in Kepong has been successfully reattached following emergency surgery at Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL).
A source said the operation was completed at 8.40am on Thursday.
The 26-year-old victim, a lance corporal attached to the Gombak district police headquarters, was attacked by the foreign man at an apartment in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong, on Wednesday night.
The suspect was later shot dead by police at around 8pm when officers attempted to arrest him near a playground.
The attack left the policeman with serious injuries, including his severed right wrist.
