ABHA — A man in his 30s sustained deep head injuries during a fight at a market in Barek and was transferred to Asir Central Hospital. Medical reports from Al-Majardah General Hospital, where the victim was treated initially, indicated that the man's injuries were serious and that there was internal bleeding. Saeed Al-Neghair, the official spokesman for the Asir governorate, said another youth suffered cuts in tendon of his right hand when he tried to grab a sharp knife while preventing an attack. He was successfully operated on. A third person admitted with less serious injuries was released after treatment several hours later. The cause of the fighting is unknown. Police are investigating.
