It was reported that Nagasar was at a Chinese Restaurant at Unity Village on Monday night when the four suspects rushed into the restaurant, all armed with cutlasses and broadsided him several times about his body. He sustained wounds to his toes and hands. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was admitted as a patient in a stable condition.
The beating of Nagasar went on for around 20 seconds as he shouted in agony until someone in the restaurant intervened and the attackers left.
