KUALA LUMPUR: Police today released a photofit of the masked suspect who is believed to have splashed acid on Selangor FC and national footballer Faisal Halim.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, in a statement, said the suspect was estimated to be around 30 years old, 165cm tall, has a medium build and tanned skin.
He said those with information on the suspect who fits the description can contact Bukit Aman Classified Crimes Investigation Unit investigating officer Inspector Jagachandran Murugesen at 012-6848166 or 03-22666071.
Faisal was attacked at a major shopping mall in Petaling Jaya on May 5, suffering acid burns to several parts of his body, including his face.
He has since gone through several surgeries and is said to be responding well to skin allograft procedures.
Two people were arrested in connection with the case, with both having been released on police bail.
Prior to his attack, another national footballer, Akyar Rashid, was attacked in Terengganu in what is believed to be a robbery.
Two days after Faisal's attack, Johor Darul Ta'zim midfielder Safiq Rahim has his car windshield smashed by unknown assailants.
