According to police sources, both-- the injured and the attacker reside in the same locality.
The altercation began when Saud tried to take Nalavade's mobile charger. When Nalavade refused and removed the charger from the plug, Saud became enraged, an official said.
In a fit of anger, Saud abused Nalavade and left the spot, only to return with a sharp weapon (Koita) from his house, he said.
"Saud attacked Nalavade on his chest, shoulder, and neck, causing severe injuries before fleeing the crime scene," an official said.
Nalavade was rushed to the Hindu Hruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Care Municipal Hospital in Jogeshwari by the locals.
