Kuwaiti Man Breaks Delivery Worker’s Hand, Smashes Police Officer with Ashtray

KUWAIT CITY, April 29: A Kuwaiti citizen is facing two felony charges and one misdemeanor after allegedly assaulting a food delivery worker and later attacking a police officer inside a police station. 

The incident reportedly began when the man placed a food order from a local restaurant to his residence in Mubarak Al-Kabeer. Upon delivery, a dispute broke out over the contents of the order. The argument escalated, and the citizen allegedly assaulted the deliveryman, resulting in a broken hand. The injured worker later went to the local police station to file a complaint, presenting a medical report that confirmed the fracture. The suspect was subsequently summoned for questioning.

During the interrogation, the situation took a violent turn. The suspect is accused of grabbing a cigarette ashtray from the desk and striking one of the officers on the head, causing a significant injury that required hospital treatment and stitches.

Police officers managed to restrain the suspect, who was then taken into custody. The assaulted officer was transferred to the hospital for medical care. As a result, authorities have filed two felony cases against the suspect — one for assault and causing serious bodily harm to the delivery worker, and another for assaulting a public official. A misdemeanor charge has also been filed in connection with the attack on the police officer. The case has been referred to the Public Prosecution Office for further legal action.
