A resident said police was informed which turned up on the spot and arrested the youth. Khan said following the incident at a shop at TTI Okhla Head, a large number of residents gathered.
Residents said such cases are on rise. The incident happened just after two days when a dead body of a youth was found near Okhla Vihar Metro station. Attacks by drug addict with blade or any sharp objects are not new, said residents.
To curb such incidents, activists, including Syed Hashmi of ECM, and others, have started campaign creating awareness among residents about how to save their children from becoming drug addict.
