Two young men were stabbed in the capital’s suburb Hulhumalé around 6:40pm last night. One of the victims underwent an operation at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) in Malé.
According to local media, the pair were stabbed in a gang fight that occurred in a park near the main mosque on the reclaimed artificial island.
A police spokesperson told The Maldives Independent that its not clear whether the two men had assaulted each other or were stabbed by a third party. Both men were initially taken to the Hulhumalé hospital for treatment of minor injuries, he said.
But the IGMH media official said a knife had sliced through the stomach all the way to the back of one of the victims, a 21-year-old who was brought to Malé around 2:00am.
