SEREMBAN, April 10 (Bernama) -- A man was injured after being attacked with a machete by his older brother in a scuffle at a house in Taman Air Mawang, Johol, here yesterday.
Kuala Pilah district police chief Superintendent Muhamad Mustafah Hussin said police received a report on the incident involving the 27-year-old victim at 3.49 pm.
