A 55-year-old Bahraini woman is facing charges of assaulting three security officers, using force against Public Security personnel and insulting officers while they were performing their duties. The case relates to an incident on April 9, 2026, when officers went to her residence to assist patrols in arresting her and found her holding a large broken glass cup with a sharp edge while threatening to kill anyone who approached.
The first officer was injured on his right thumb when the woman struck him with the broken glass. A second officer was cut on his left little finger while trying to take the glass from her and later suffered pain in his right rib area as she resisted restraint. After being taken to the security directorate, the woman allegedly removed her handcuff and attempted to attack a female officer, who suffered a right-hand injury while trying to restrain her. The woman was also accused of insulting the first two officers through words and actions.
Forensic reports found that the injuries to the first two officers were not expected to cause permanent disability, while the female officer suffered ligament injuries requiring more than 21 days of treatment and physiotherapy. The defendant admitted the charges during Public Prosecution questioning, while records showed an arrest warrant had also been issued against her by the Cybercrime Directorate on April 9. The court has scheduled October 13, 2026, for judgment.
