A 26-year-old man who had consumed alcohol was attacked by four other intoxicated people outside a roadside eatery in Kalyan around midnight on Monday over a parking dispute.

The victim and his friends were pulling their car out of a parking spot when the quartet had an argument with him. They tried to snatch his gold chain before attacking him with a sharp weapon and fleeing from the spot.

Late on October 1, Ankush Shelar, a resident ofJayprakashnagar in Kalyan, had gone to Sai Dhaba near Gandhari Road to have dinner with three friends. They were done around 12.30 am and got back into their car. "As they were pulling out," said Assistant Police Inspector (API) Nitin Phatangare, Khadakpada police station, "their vehicle was blocked by one of the two cars of the four accused."

They had an argument over this, following which two of the accused got out of their car.

"They asked me what I was doing there so late in the night. I said I was there to have dinner," said Shelar in his statement to the cops. "Suddenly one of them snatched the gold chain I was wearing," he said.

As Shelar moved to get his chain back, the snatcher's friend attacked him with a sharp weapon. "He struck my head with something like a knife but I deflected it with my right hand. The knife scratched my right ear and cheek," he said.

Both the parties left the spot but the accused threatened Shelar and his friends. "They warned us not to lodge a police case or else they'd gun us down," he said.

Shelar lodged a police complaint against the four people, who are not known to him. "Both the parties were under the influence of alcohol. We have traced the car numbers of the accused and will find them soon," said Phatangare.
