Inmates at the General Directorate of Reformation and Rehabilitation suffered minor injuries when two of the inmates clashed inside over a complaint filed against one of them.

The altercation between the two inmates took a violent turn, with one of them attacking the other physically, the head of the Southern Governorate Prosecution Office said. Officials notified the incident to Public Prosecution, which ordered an investigation.

The victim alleged that the attacker asked him to speak in private, to which he responded positively. “But, the man started yelling at me and hitting me violently, inquiring about a complaint filed by one of the inmates against him.” “Police came to my rescue, hearing the commotion, and drove him away,” the victim told investigators.

Reports say the victim suffered minor injuries - aberrations on the right and left forearm and neck.

During interrogation, the suspect confessed to his crime when confronted with security footages.
