Shah Alam police chief ACP Shafien Mamat confirmed that the two male victims were injured in the attack by several unidentified men at the stadium’s car park.
The two were part of a larger contingent of supporters who were leaving the stadium following the SEA Games match between Malaysia and Myanmar.
“Investigations and operations to locate and arrest the suspects are proceeding,” he said in a statement.
Members of the public with information on the attack may contact their nearest police station.
Shafien added that the investigation is being conducted under Section 148 of the Penal Code relating to rioting.
