A twenty-eight-year old Bangladeshi worker was allegedly attacked by three Arab youths after he refused to hand them money.
Mohammed Shaheed Uddin was coming out of a cold store in the evening near his camp in Tubli on Saturday when three boys came on bicycles and stopped in front of him. “I went to purchase household items and these boys surrounded me and demanded BD1. I had no money as I had made payment at the cold store. On hearing this, one of the boys punched me in the face and the other two started to kick me and my friend who had accompanied me along the store. They kept hitting me and one of them went outside and took a wooden plank and smacked it on my head several times.”

Mohammed Shaheed Uddin was coming out of a cold store in the evening near his camp in Tubli on Saturday when three boys came on bicycles and stopped in front of him. “I went to purchase household items and these boys surrounded me and demanded BD1.

On hearing this, one of the boys punched me in the face and the other two started to kick me and my friend who had accompanied me along the store. They kept hitting me and one of them went outside and took a wooden plank and smacked it on my head several times.”
Mohammed was on the ground in a pool of blood while his friend was unconscious but there was no one to help them. The customers in the store got scared and when they approached one of the men to call the ambulance he left but did not return. “I was desperately seeking for help but there was no one there. One of my roommates informed the police and I was finally brought to the hospital.”
Mohammed sustained injuries on his head and hand while his friend had face injuries but was discharged the same day. “I am afraid to return as the boys loaf around in that area and might attack me again.”
A case has been filed at the Isa Town police station.
