KUALA LUMPUR: A distraught man attempted to break a glass panel of the forensic department at Sungai Buloh Hospital on Thursday after being denied the chance to see the remains of a family member, police said.
Sungai Buloh police chief Hafiz Muhammad Nor said the incident took place at about midnight. A 42-year-old man was arrested and a safety helmet seized.
“The man was believed to be in a state of anger and depression after being unable to view his family member’s remains. He had a history of mental illness, and had missed several medical appointments,” Hafiz said in a statement.
