A shocking video has surfaced, revealing a man engaging in extreme self-harm by pulling out his own intestines after slitting his throat and stabbing himself in the stomach. Authorities believe that the man may be suffering from psychiatric issues.
Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat, the Chief of Police for the South Johor Bahru District, provided details about the incident. The 32-year-old man, who was in an unstable state, carried out these disturbing actions at 10:53 PM last Thursday.
Following the incident, the man was promptly referred to a psychiatric specialist at Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) in Johor Bahru for further evaluation and treatment.
"We received a report regarding the incident soon after it occurred. Our investigation, along with the examination conducted by the attending doctor, indicates that the man attempted to take his own life by using a knife to stab himself in the stomach and slit his throat," stated Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat during a recent press statement. Both the police investigation and the doctor's assessment strongly suggest that the man's actions were driven by his unstable mental condition and underlying psychiatric problems.
Prior to the official report, authorities became aware of a distressing 52-second video circulating on social media. The footage, which was shared at 9:02 AM yesterday, allegedly captures the man's suicide attempt in front of a restaurant located in Taman Suria.
The video paints a disturbing picture as the man is seen lying weakly by the roadside, pulling out his intestines in a highly distressing display of self-harm.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the need for accessible mental health support systems. It highlights the significance of early intervention and effective treatment for individuals grappling with mental health challenges.
The incident also underscores the urgent need to prioritize mental well-being and work towards building a more empathetic and supportive society.
