SHAH ALAM: A teenage boy was injured after narrowly escaping a kidnap attempt at knifepoint in Section 13 here yesterday evening.
Shah Alam police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said that at the time of the incident at about 5.15 pm, the victim was jogging alone in the area before being confronted by a car with two men of unknown nationalities in it.
