The attack in London<\/p>\n
In his Facebook post, the chairman of Petra Group revealed that he was attacked by two people outside his daughter Tara\u2019s apartment in London<\/a>. The family had returned to the apartment \u2014 located near Battersea Power Station \u2014 after a day spent at Oxford.<\/p>\n \u201cBut as I parked and stepped out of the car, two men suddenly appeared,\u201d Sekhar said.<\/p>\n The men started attacking the Indian-origin Malaysian businessman and even managed to tear his watch off his wrist during the assault. He suffered minor bruising and bleeding in the attack.<\/p>\n \u201cThey rushed at me, smothered me, hit me a few times on the chest and thighs, and tore the watch off my wrist. I tried to hold on but couldn\u2019t \u2014 my post transplant medication and health simply didn\u2019t allow it,\u201d wrote Sekhar, who had undergone a heart transplant in India last year.<\/p>\n Wife fights off attackers<\/p>\n Sekhar was accompanied by his wife, Winy Yeap, who jumped in to save him. According to the businessman, she swung her bag and shouted at the attackers, who \u2014 possibly deterred by this interruption \u2014 jumped on their bikes and drove off.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then, like the lioness she\u2019s always been, my wife jumped in \u2014 swinging her bag, shouting at them, fearless and protective,\u201d Sekhar revealed. \u201cIn that moment, the muggers fled on electric Lime bikes. I was bruised, bleeding lightly (thanks to the blood thinners it looked worse than it was), but relatively unscathed.\u201d<\/p>\n When the London Metropolitan police arrived minutes later, one cop told Sekhar that he was a lucky man, because the attackers would have stabbed him if he had held on.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n London vs Kuala Lumpur<\/p>\n
