Two Syrian men sustain serious injuries in separate Gozo fights on same night

Last night at around 9:45 p.m., police were alerted to a dispute near a shop in Pjazza San Franġisk, Rabat, Gozo.

Officers immediately responded to the scene, where they found a 44-year-old Syrian man, residing in Rabat, with head injuries. A medical team was called to assist, and the man was transported by ambulance to the Gozo General Hospital for further treatment.

Shortly afterward, while police were still on site conducting their investigation, they received information about another altercation near the Mġarr port. Initial reports suggested that the individuals involved were likely the same as those connected to the earlier incident in Rabat.

At Mġarr, another Syrian man was receiving medical attention and was also taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Both men were later certified to have sustained serious injuries.

Police investigations are ongoing, and several individuals connected to the incidents are being questioned.
