YSR Congress chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was on Thursday injured in a knife attack by a chef employed at a restaurant allegedly owned by a ruling TDP leader at the Visakhapatnam airport, police said.

Reddy, the Leader of the Opposition in Andhra Pradesh assembly, escaped with a "deep" cut on his left shoulder. J Srinivasa Rao, 30, the assailant, approached Reddy when he was leaving the VIP lounge to board a flight to Hyderabad and requested for a 'selfie'.
