Man seriously injured in Paceville altercation<\/p>\n
A 37-year-old Maltese man residing in Pembroke was arrested early on Sunday morning in connection with an argument that took place inside an entertainment establishment in St Julian’s.<\/p>\n
Police officers who were on duty in Paceville were informed by an employee of an entertainment establishment that an argument had just occurred between two individuals at around 1:00 a.m.<\/p>\n
Officers immediately entered the premises and the alleged aggressor was identified. The Police intervened and arrested the man, while safely confiscating a small sharp and pointed instrument from him to prevent harm to others.<\/p>\n
At the same time as the arrest was taking place, the other person involved in the argument – a 32-year-old Syrian man residing in Żabbar – was assisted by other officers stationed in the area, who called for medical assistance after it was discovered that he had injuries to his neck.<\/p>\n
A medical team arrived on site, and shortly after transported the man by ambulance to Mater Dei Hospital. He was later certified as having suffered serious injuries.<\/p>\n
Magistrate Philip Galea Farrugia was informed and has appointed an inquiry into the case, while Police investigations are still ongoing.<\/p>\n
