A 24-year-old man from Marsaskala and two men, aged 28 and 27, from Żabbar, have been arrested following a violent argument in St. Julians early this morning. During the arrest, three police officers sustained minor injuries.
The incident occurred at around 4:30 am on Dragonara Road, where police were called in for assistance. Upon arrival, officers found a group of individuals holding glass bottles. While attempting to de-escalate the situation, the 24-year-old suspect allegedly advanced towards the police in an aggressive manner, wielding a broken bottle. This led officers to use a taser to subdue him. Simultaneously, the 28-year-old man reportedly attacked another officer.
A medical team provided assistance on-site before transporting those involved to Mater Dei Hospital for further treatment. The 28-year-old was later certified as having sustained serious injuries, while the other two men were unharmed.
Police investigations are ongoing, and the three suspects are expected to be charged in court in the coming days.
