Since the break of dawn, tension could be felt in the air. The hamlet of Manek Urai had transformed into a battlefield.
Outside the SK Peria polling station, the temperature had been on the rise since morning as some 300 supporters of PAS and Umno traded insults.
Soon after, Utusan online reported that they began to pelt one another with stones and water bottles, resulting in some losing even their teeth.
Then they traded blows, forcing the police to deploy members of the Light Strike Force to restore calm.
Several people were rushed to the Kuala Krai Hospital for treatment. Also hurt in the fracas were five Puteri Umno members.
