Council employee beaten up

An employee of St Paul’s Bay local council was allegedly beaten up by a thug, after the latter dumped household waste after collection hours.

The thug resorted to violence after the employee told the aggressor not to dump waste. 

The incident took place in Bugibba.

While deploring all type of aggression, the locality’s mayor Mario Salerno said this was not the first time that employees and councillors felt threatened about similar cases.

In a statement, Salerno condemned this incident and said the police were alerted about the case.
