To a question on what could be the reason behind the incident, Nalapad said he has no idea as his father was friendly with everyone. Harris has been admitted to the St Philomena's Hospital. He sustained injuries in his leg and has received stitches, a family member said.
Police rushed to the spot upon learning about the incident and began investigation. So far, no one has been arrested while investigations are on, police said.
