A Nigerian cleaner has been charged in the Court of First Instance with physically assaulting a man and causing him a head bleeding. The 29-year-old cleaner pleaded not guilty to the charge.
According to prosecution records, he caused the other man a permanent injury unintentionally in the incident that followed a brawl between the two men on May 26, last year in Iyyal Nasser, Naif.
“The cleaner admitted that on May 26, 2016, around 7pm he had an argument with the victim, who as the cleaner claimed, brought a wooden stick and wanted to hit him. He pulled it from his hands and then hit him on the head.”
The accused told the police that when he saw the victim collapsing, he threw the stick away and fled the place.
The forensic report showed the victim suffered a head bleeding which extended to the brain tissue and caused him to pass out. The doctor, who treated him, said his injury could have been deadly but last-minute surgeries saved his life.
In the fight, which was caught on the building surveillance cameras, the accused was seen hitting the victim who fell down. He then twisted his arms and assaulted him again. The victim was seen trying to get away from him as the accused pulled him.
