Cleaner jailed for battering man’s head with stick

Victim underwent life-saving surgery to stop haemorrhage after the assault

The victim, whose nationality remained undisclosed in records, was taken to hospital where doctors performed urgent and life-saving surgery on him as he had suffered a haemorrhage.

Surgeons lifted the victim’s skull to be able to reduce the haemorrhage that had resulted in the man losing consciousness.

Law enforcement officers arrested the Nigerian, who was identified from the surveillance cameras installed at the building where the incident happened at 7.15pm. The Dubai Court of First Instance convicted the cleaner of assaulting the man and causing him a permanent disability.
