Thiruvananthapuram: A man stabbed a 19-year-old youth mistaking him to be a thief who had sneaked into his house, in the capital city.

According to police, the incident occurred at the house of one Simon Lala, who woke up hearing a sound inside his house at 3.30 a.m. on Wednesday.

Lala, thinking him to be a thief, took a knife and attacked the intruder. After the person collapsed, the man rushed to the nearby police station and reported the incident.

Soon, the police arrived and took the 19-year-old Anish George, a resident at the same locality, to the hospital but he had succumbed to his injuries by then.
