Snatch thieves slash wrists of Chinese woman
SEREMBAN: A 26-year-old foreign housewife was slashed on her wrists by two motorcyclists before they snatched her waist-pouch at Taman Bunga Blossom here.
China national Zhang Hui Xian fell on the road with her hands bleeding profusely and screamed for help.
A couple, who responded to her screams, rushed her to a nearby clinic for treatment and she was later transferred to the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital.
Zhang, who followed her husband to Kuala Lumpur on a business trip, is in stable condition.
She came here to visit a friend on Monday and planned to return to the capital before the snatch theft incident.
She said she was walking to a nearby bus stop when two motorcyclists blocked her way about 12.30pm on Thursday.
“When I was about to remove my waist-pouch and hand it to them, one of the robbers slashed me with a knife.
“They then snatched my pouch containing my passport, a cellphone and RM2,000, and fled,” she added.
Ten minutes before the incident involving Zhang, a 78-year-old woman had her bag containing RM200 snatched in a housing estate about 500m away, also by two motorcyclists.
One of the motorcyclists cut the strap of the victim’s bag with a parang, before picking it up and zooming off.
OCPD Asst Comm Hasanuddin Hassan confirmed the two incidents.
