An expatriate living in a residential building opposite the GMC Hospital in the National Paints area was stabbed on Wednesday morning. The reason for the attack is still unknown.

The incident, on Wednesday morning, sent shockwaves among residents in the area, as parents living in the area were waiting for school-buses for their children when the incident occurred. The attacker reportedly fled after the incident.
