Sunil Kumar from Dhansa village of Delhi had attacked his cousin Mahender Singh, who is an employee of MCD, with a knife in broad day light, creating a sense of insecurity among the people of the locality.
Singh was attacked on the morning of June 29 while he was on his way to work by Sunil who waylaid him and lunged at him with a knife.
The day happened a day after Singh had intervened and prevented an inebriated Kumar from beating up his wife.
Kumar fled from the spot after the attack but was arrested yesterday.
