Coimbatore, February 3: In a shocking incident, a 24-year-old man attacked and attempted to kill a nurse at a private hospital in Coimbatore on the evening of February 2. The man, identified as A Sujith from Nagercoil, had been in a relationship with the 22-year-old woman for the past four years. However, she had recently stopped responding to his phone calls and had been avoiding him for over a week. Enraged by her lack of communication, Sujith travelled to Coimbatore and confronted her at the hospital. The situation escalated when he pulled out a knife and attacked her.
