Man brutally attacked over parking space
Manama : A Bahraini man sustained with injuries after he was brutally beaten up by a couple of Arab nationals on Friday. The incident occurred due to a conflict over a parking space in block 203 in Muharraq Governorate.
Saleh Al Slehi (in his mid-fifties) sustained several injuries and fractures in the head and face and was hospitalised.
According to sources, the victim and his Arab neighbour had previous arguments over a parking space and a case was registered earlier. The area’s Representative MP Ibrahim Al Hammadi met the man after he left the hospital on Saturday.
“The victim had previous issues with his Arab neighbour. He told me that he was walking back home on the night of the incident and met the attacker near his house. An argument erupted and the victim told he was hit with a solid object, probably a stick, on the back of his head by a person he didn’t see and fainted right away,” the MP told DT News.
“He told that he woke up in King Hamad University Hospital suffering from injuries in the head and a fractured jaw,” Al Hammadi informed.
He also confirmed that the main suspect is arrested and that the case is being investigated by the police.
Fights common
The legislator said that fights between neighbours over parking spaces is a weekly scene in block 203, adding that he had appealed to the Government several times in the past three years, requesting a solution for the never-ending dilemma of parking spaces in the area.
“I had requested Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning and Interior Ministries to allocate lands they own in the area to construct more parking spaces for residents. This is the old part of Muharraq, which is witnessing huge population growth, and the alleys are too narrow to accommodate residents’ cars,” Al Hammadi said, adding that he will raise the matter once again with the authorities in the near future.
