BEIRUT: A man was sent to hospital with fractures Tuesday night after a personal dispute turned violent in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a security source said.
The source told The Daily Star that Hussein Abdo Faitrouni, 26, received multiple bruises and bone fractures during a fight which developed overnight with a group of men near Abbas City in Hay el-Sillum in Beirut’s southern suburbs, following an original dispute regarding a young woman.
He said Hezbollah members stepped in and pulled the young woman from the crowd.
Faitrouni fired gunshots into the air in order to escape, the source said.
