Asian resident alleges he was attacked with a chair after asking his roommate to keep the noise down; witnesses to testify in next hearing.
Staff WriterJun 29, 2026, 1:20 PMThe Sharjah Misdemeanour Court is hearing a case involving the alleged assault of an Asian resident by his roommate following a dispute over noise inside their shared accommodation.
According to court proceedings, the incident occurred while the complainant was attempting to rest but was unable to do so because of the loud noise allegedly made by his roommate late at night.
The complainant said he approached his roommate and asked him to lower the noise and allow him to sleep. The situation, however, escalated, with the accused allegedly attacking him with a chair in front of several witnesses inside the accommodation.
The victim sustained injuries to his head and other parts of his body, prompting him to file a complaint and pursue legal action.
When questioned before the court on charges of assault and causing bodily harm, the accused denied the allegations, claiming the incident was merely a verbal altercation.
The court has adjourned the case to a later date and ordered the summoning of witnesses to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
