Two suspects who had injured a Chinese tourist while attempting to steal a mobile phone from a train plying through Kandy have been arrested by the Nawalapitiya Police.
According to Lankadeepa, three suspects standing on a rock by the railway track close to the Inguruoya Railway Station in Nawalapitiya had used a stick to knock the mobile phone out of the hands of a female Chinese Tourist who was videoing the scenery.
However, the suspect with the stick had hit the tourist instead of the phone, injuring her.
The incident is reported to have taken place while the tourist was onboard the Udarata Menike train which had left from Colombo- Fort to Badulla.
The Nawalapitiya Police have arrested two suspects, while investigations are underway to apprehend a third suspect. (NewsWire)
