A 29-year-old man from Chad was this morning given a one-year jail term suspended for a year after he admitted injuring another immigrant on Wednesday.
Malik Ahmed Mohammed, who lives in Msida, hit immigrant John Chibuzor Bolenus in the hand with a broken bottle.
Police inspector Nicholai Sant told the court that the two men were arguing over the price the accused had asked for cannabis he gave the victim.
No drugs were found on the men.
Legal aid lawyer Renzo Porsella Flores noted that although the injuries were deemed grievous, they were just lacerations to the hand.
