A man, suspected to be mentally-deranged has attacked and inflicted wounds on four persons with a machete at Abrepo, a suburb of Kumasi.

Daniel Isaka, believed to be in his mid-30s, attacked three persons before the fourth mustered some courage to take away the cutlass from him at Abrepo Junction on Tuesday.

The timely intervention of the police prevented a mob from lynching him as a result of his actions.

After being subdued, he was handed over to authorities at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) while the injured were treated and discharged.

Information gathered by primenewsghana later suggested that Isaka is a patient of the KATH who attacked the security men guarding his ward before leaving the facility.
