People Assault Police During a Property Violation Removal in North Metn
Security Forces were pelted with stones and sticks on Wednesday during an attempt to remove a property violation in al-Rwaisat area in Jdaidet al-Metn injuring one serviceman.
A dispute erupted between the security forces and residents in the area who started pelting them with stones, plastic bottles and wooden sticks in a bid to prevent them from implementing an order to remove the violation.
The violators were previously notified several times to clear-off a two storey building they illegally built on someone else's land but failed to comply with the warning, reports said.
According to media reports, an engineer identified as Karl Abou Jawdeh from Jdaidet al-Rwaisat has filed a complaint about a group of Arabs raising construction on the property of his father, Jean Abou Jawdeh, without any interference from the local authorities despite submitting a legal removal request.
People started throwing plastic bottles, wooden sticks and stones at the police injuring one.
