Jbeil Police Arrest Maid for Assaulting her Employer

Police arrested an Ethiopian maid for assaulting her 75-year-old employer and burning her with hot water in Jbeil, north of Beirut, the state-run National News Agency reported Thursday.

NNA said that the house worker, 24, hit Samia Kh. on her head with a bronze statue and then sprayed her with hot water after she collapsed in her home in Mastita.

The assault caused first degree burns on the old woman's face and chest, the agency quoted the medical examiner as saying.

Samia was taken to Notre-Dame de Secours hospital in Jbeil.
