Cleaner jailed for knife attack on co-worker

A

cleaner has been jailed for six months for stabbing his co-worker with a knife following an argument in a restaurant’s storeroom.

The Pakistani co-worker was taking meat into the storeroom when his 22-yearold countryman cleaner, who was cutting onions, blocked his way at the restaurant in Bur Dubai last January. After the cleaner refused to give way despite repeated requests, the two indulged in a heated argument and abused each other. This led to a fight and the accused stabbed the worker twice in his leg and stomach. (Staff Report)
