KUALA LUMPUR MALAYSIA: It was like a scene right out of a Tamil movie when an armed group gatecrashed a Hindu wedding moments before the bride and bridegroom were about to marry.

And there was a detective among the guests who opened fired on them to scare them off, adding to the drama. What happened last night, however, was more frightening because it was the real thing and the group of six, which included a woman, were armed with parang and chains.

The group ordered the wedding stopped and began attacking guests. The detective then fired several shots at them, seriously injuring one of them,

Cheras OCPD Asst Comm Ahmad Amir Mohd Hashim said the group arrived at 7.50pm just before the wedding ceremony was scheduled to begin at the Desa Tasik Sports Complex, Sungai Besi.

"They began shouting and warning the crowd that the wedding should not be held before they started attacking the guests.

"A police detective from KL Headquarters who was invited as a guest identified himself as a policeman to the group and warned them to stop but they charged at him, forcing him to fire four shots," he said.

He said two members of the group had been arrested, and police are looking for the others.

He said six guests suffered minor injuries, adding that police were still investigating the motive of the attack.

The wedding has been postponed indefinitely.
