A warden was assaulted in Birzebbuga early this afternoon by a man who objected after he was issued a ticket.

The incident happened at about 2.15pm.

The warden was unhurt, but his equipment was stolen.

The aggressor ran off and is being sought by the police.

This was the second assault on a warden this week, with another warden having suffered a broken nose at Tal-Balal on Monday.
