Police attacker’s jail term cut

The High Appeals Court has revised the sentence issued against a man convicted of attacking an on-duty police officer. The defendant was present at the scene during an operation to arrest a woman accused of engaging in prostitution.

He was asked to leave while engaging in a conversation with one of the alleged prostitutes, who was arrested in Juffair. He was asked to present his ID and he refused to do that before attacking the injured police officer, obstructing the task of the police officers.

He also insulted him.
