Man gets one year in jail for attacking on duty cops

The Lower Criminal Court has sentenced a man, who attacked two on duty police officers, for one year in jail along a fine of BD250. The incident reportedly happened in a Juffair hotel on September 24 after the accused refused to settle a bill of BD120 while he was drunk.

He is said to have also verbally insulted the cops. The subject earlier denied attacking the pair, though he admitted to refusing to pay the bill. He was charged with physically assaulting two on duty police officers, and insulting them. He was charged of disturbing public order.
