Shivamogga (K'taka), Jan 9: A Bajrang Dal activist escaped unhurt when a man wielding a machete attempted to attack him in Sagar here on Monday, police said.
A case was registered against the accused, Sameer, who went missing and a search launched to nab him, police said.
Sunil, the outfit member, had taken part in a programme organised by right-wing organisation 'Hindu Jagarana Vedike' on Sunday in the town, they said.
Shivamogga Superintendent of Police G K Mithun Kumar said Sameer attempted to attack the activist near a shop where he had come on a motorbike.

"We have constituted three teams to find out why the accused did it. After we get hold of him, we will provide more information to you. At this juncture, I cannot say anything," Kumar told reporters.
He said the police have taken the incident at Sagar seriously and added that no one should be allowed to walk around with weapons.

KKR hammer DC by eight wickets as Allen smashes unbeaten ton
New Delhi (PTI): Finn Allen smashed a 47-ball 100 not out as Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Delhi Capitals by eight wickets to register their fourth win on the trot in the IPL, here on Friday.
Opting to bowl, KKR spinners led by Sunil Narine strangled Delhi Capitals in the middle overs on a tacky surface to restrict them to 142/8.
Pathum Nissanka struck a quick 50 (29 balls; 5x4, 3x6) but Delhi lost momentum after his dismissal, scoring just 11 runs between the 12th and 16th overs as Anukul Roy (2/31), Kartik Tyagi (2/25) and Sunil Narine (1/17) applied the brakes.
Ashutosh Sharma’s late 28-ball 39 (3x4, 3x6), gave Delhi some respite.
In reply, Allen, who came in as Impact Sub for Varun Chakravarthy, smashed 10 sixes and five fours to make it a lopsided chase as KKR sealed the win in just 14.2 overs.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals 142/8 in 20 overs (Pathum Nissanka 50, Ashutosh Sharma 39; Anukul Roy 2/31, Kartik Tyagi 2/25). Kolkata Knight Riders 147/2 in 14.2 overs (Finn Allen 100 not out).
