GOMBAK: A police constable was stabbed in a scuffle with a man he mistook as a waiter while ordering roti canai at a restaurant at Selayang Point Condominium on Monday.

In the 5.40am incident, the 26-year-old constable, who is attached to Bukit Aman Special Action Unit (UTK), had gone to the restaurant with three friends.

He ordered roti canai from a man whom he thought was a restaurant staff.

Gombak OCPD Asst Comm Ali Ahmad said the constable went after the man, and both fought at the lobby area of the condominium.

ACP Ali said the constable was stabbed in the stomach while the man suffered light injuries.

He said two men, aged 24, have been arrested to assist in the case.
