Two Somali men were injured, one of them seriously, in a fight in their Birżebbuġa flat early yesterday morning, the police said.

The police said that at about 1am they went to the apartment in Triq Żaren Dalli and found the two men, one aged 29 and the other 38, covered in blood and unable to speak because of their injuries.

Their neighbour, another Somali, acted as interpreter and told the police the two men had had an argument. It is understood they hit each other with glass.

They were taken to hospital, with the younger one placed in intensive care as he was critically injured. He took a turn for the better by the morning.
