Assault

A Syrian man sought the help of police when one of his compatriots stormed his apartment, beat and threatened to kill him, over previous disputes between the two. The Syrian gave Maidan Hawally police details of the attacker, but he did not respond to phone calls, so detectives were asked to arrest him. Separately, a citizen beat one of his friends badly during a fight, accusing him of talking bad things about him behind his back in a diwaniya that they both often visit. The victim attempted to convince him that he did not talk about him. The citizen went to Jahra police and told them he met a friend in a public place and was surprised after he attacked him. — Al-Ra
