The suspect attacked the victim for playing his game too loud, and then went back to sleep

Two men at a worker’s hostel found themselves coming to blows over a video game in Taman Nusa Bestari, just outside of Johor this morning.

An Indonesian man had his ear and neck injured after it was reported that another housemate thought that his video game was way too loud.

Call of Duty has its charms, but you can only hear so many Winston Churchill quotes at full blast before even the most patient person snaps.

A 39-year-old suspect is in custody, accused of storming into the next room in a rage and attacking the other man with a penknife.

Having assaulted the victim, and presumably silenced his game, the suspect did what any unhinged person would do –he went back to bed.

The victim was sent to Hospital Sultanah Aminah for the treatment of a 4 centimeter cut and abrasions.

The suspect tested negative for any drugs, but we imagine if anger was a narcotic, he’d have been high as a kite.
