Nik Ros Azhan said the suspect hit his step-grandson, before flinging him out of the window in the main room.

He said the suspect’s 49-year-old wife who saw the incident, then shouted for help and rushed to get help from the neighbours and security guards to save herself and her four other children.

"The suspect tried to escape by jumping out through the window and was injured. He was detained by the public and security guards at the apartment,” he said.

Nik Ros Azhan said the suspect suffered injuries to his hands and some parts of the body and was taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) for further treatment. — Bernama
