A woman in Malaysia who was badly injured after she was pushed down a deep ravine by her husband during an argument, spent nine hours climbing out before being rescued.
On July 27, the 32-year-old woman was picked up by her husband from her workplace in Kuala Lumpur, according to Murtadha Dakwah Centre, a Malaysian non-governmental organisation (NGO).
On their way home, the couple reportedly had a heated exchange then the husband stopped the car, tried to choke his wife and pulled out a knife, threatening to kill her.
She attempted to escape from the car but he stopped her.
Shortly afterwards, they argued again, and this time the husband pulled the car over to the roadside where they began grappling.
He then pushed her out of the car and she fell into a ravine in full view of their two children sitting in the back.
The woman said that thinking of her children – a five-month-old infant and another is six years old – and not wanting them to lose their mother, gave her the strength to save herself.
Due to the fact that she had suffered severe injuries, it took her nine hours to climb out of the 10-metre deep ravine, and eventually seek help from a passer-by.
Muhammad Ridzuan Osman, head of the NGO, revealed that her injuries included spinal damage, a fractured waist and a broken arm.
He shared photos on Facebook of an ambulance taking the woman to hospital, writing: "Her story is heartbreaking. We hope she recovers soon and remains strong."
The husband has been detained by the police, who have classified the case as an attempted murder which could result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years.
He already has a criminal record, including for assault on his brother, according to Berita Harian, a Malaysian newspaper.
The couple's identities were not disclosed in the report.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media.
"The power of a mother's love is boundless. She fought to save herself for her children, she is a great mother," one online observer wrote on Facebook.
