A man was allegedly stabbed in a road rage incident near the War memorial in the city, police said on Thursday.
Cernan Charles Denga, 47, has been arrested on charges of attempt to murder, police said.
Denga claimed that he was working as a journalist with an English daily, they said.
He had allegedly rammed his car against motorcycle rider Ravitej, 27, on Wednesday.
When the latter questioned him, he took out a knife and allegedly stabbed him in the shoulder and slashed his throat, police said.
Ravitej, however, managed to call his cousin who works in an office nearby.
