Police officer becomes target following assault on delivery worker by a Kuwaiti individual
In the small Gulf nation of Kuwait, a local citizen is grappling with some serious legal woes. The citizen, who hails from Mubarak Al-Kabeer, is facing a trifecta of charges following an act of violence that left a home delivery worker and a police officer injured.
According to insider information, the altercation started when the citizen received a food order at his residence. A disagreement over the contents of the order escalated rapidly, with the citizen allegedly throwing punches and fracturing the delivery worker's hand[1][4].
Grief-stricken and seeking justice, the injured deliveryman went to the local police station and filed a complaint, backed by a medical report to substantiate his claims[4]. An unhappy turn of events unfolded when the citizen was summoned for questioning—apparently angered by the summons, he picked up a cigarette ashtray and smacked it against an officer's head, causing injury that required medical attention and stitches[4].
As a result, the Kuwaiti citizen is now staring down the barrel of a felony case for assault causing serious bodily harm and another for injuring a public official. He also faces a misdemeanor charge in connection with the attack on the officer[1][4]. The Public Prosecution Office has taken up the case, and the suspect remains in custody as of April 29[1][4].
In the court of public opinion, the case has been a topic of conversation due to its unfolding amidst recent releases of detained Americans in Kuwait. This situation has fueled discussions about the different legal outcomes experienced by foreign workers, visitors, and citizens in domestic disputes[3].
