Criminals do not choose their victims. A new armed robbery was reported in the Vahilava sector, in Malaza Fenoarivo, last Tuesday around 8 p.m. A cyclist was assaulted by two men armed with knives, who overpowered and injured him before stealing his bicycle. The two attackers were quickly arrested. They are currently under investigation for this case as well as for other crimes they are suspected of committing.
The incident occurred while a young man and his companion were cycling home along National Road 1. Near the Malaza intersection, two individuals intercepted them. The cyclists attempted to resist, but the attackers brandished sharp knives and seized the bicycle. During the confrontation, one of the victims was injured, though both men managed to escape with their lives. Shortly after, they encountered gendarmes from Ambohijafy on patrol in Ambaniavaratra Fenoarivo and reported the assault.
