KUALA LUMPUR – Police have arrested 10 students of a vocational college in Wangsa Maju here yesterday over suspicions of assaulting and injuring a fellow student.
Wangsa Maju district police chief Ashari Abu Samah said the students, aged 16 to 20, were arrested following a police report lodged by the mother of the victim on Monday.
He said the mother was informed by the dormitory warden that her son was unwell and was brought to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment.
