While Ibrahim Nafsan (30), was attacked with a sword by a gang of five miscreants near Veerabhadra Temple early on Monday morning, when he was on the way to fishing port from Ullal, three others youths were attacked late on Monday night at Thokkottu inner-town.
Gang of five miscreants
In both cases a gang of five miscreants intercepted motorbikes and attacked the riders with lethal weapons. Fortunately all four victims survived the murder bid and undergoing treatment in different hospitals.
It is not yet confirmed whether the same gang carried out both the attacks or not.
In the second case, three youths identified as Safwan (20), Nizam (19) and Saleem (24), all residents of Pilar village, were intercepted and attacked with sharp weapons when they were returning home together on a two-wheeler.
A critically injured Swafwan is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Mangaluru while two others, who are out of danger, are recuperating in a private hospital in Thokkottu.
It is learnt that the trio was returning home on a motorbike after finishing catering work at a marriage function at Maddadka. Their motorbike was waylaid at Thokkottu inner-town by the five miscreants who randomly targeted Safwan first and then attacked the other two.
Despite he was stabbed by the miscreant, Safwan started running and after reaching Kapikad he contacted one of his friends and narrated the incident. Soon his friends Abdul Samad and Nazrat reached the spot and took him to a hospital.
Hid in bushes till morning
On the other hand, Nizam, who was riding the motorbike, too escaped after the assault. He had gone missing for a few hours as search for him by police and family members went in vain till Tuesday morning.
