I tried to hold him, but he used a spray against my eyes and i fell down unconscious,” Ghulam Hassan was quoted by Kashmiriyat as saying.
Ghulam Hassan said that the man was slamming at the door in which the family’s female members were sleeping. “When they opened the door, he swung a sword and attacked them, two of them were injured in the attack,” Ghulam Hassan said, tha father of the injured girls said.
All of the female members ran after him, but he somehow managed to escape leaving behind his sword, his cellphone and other possessions he had brought along that include a poison, a sword, a can of petrol among others.
