A reporter at the Sun newspaper has been warded with broken ribs and suspected internal injuries following yesterday's rally in Kuala Lumpur.

According to collegue Alyaa Alhadjri, Radzi Razak is currently warded at Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

"When I left at 12.30am this morning, tests were conducted as it was suspected that he sustained internal injuries to his stomach," she said when contacted.

It is still unclear how exactly he sustained the injuries, but Malaysiakini reporter Zulaikha Zulkifli said that a large group of police had charged to the area where Radzi was standing around 5.30pm.

Radzi was said to be standing at the corner of Jalan Tun Perak and Jalan Raja Laut, while Zulaikha was at the corner of Jalan Tun Perak and Jalan Raja.

"I saw police go to where Radzi was. There were not many protestors there. Then I saw someone wearing white on the ground. An ambulance then stopped there," she said.

Malaysiakini reporter Nigel Aw said when he arrived at the scene, Radzi was already on the ground and "barely concious (and) surrounded by a lot of people".

A photograph of Radzi , who was wearing a white shirt, shows him lying on his back and surrounded by medical officers. He was wearing his press tag.
