A dispute in the parking lot of Nuzha Park escalated into a physical fight when one youth prevented another from exiting with his vehicle, according to the Faiha Police Station. One participant struck the other in the face with a metal ring, causing a severe eye injury. The victim was taken to Amiri Hospital, where he underwent surgery, and medical reports were submitted to investigators.
Officers at Faiha Police Station received assault complaints from both youths involved in the incident. The second youth arrived at the station about 15 minutes after the first complaint. Police determined the accounts referred to the same event and consolidated the cases for further processing.
The Public Prosecution registered the case and assigned the General Department of Criminal Investigation to carry out a detailed probe, a judicial official said. This includes reviewing statements, medical evidence and any available footage from the park area. The department’s assessment will inform subsequent legal steps under Kuwaiti law.
Amiri Hospital serves as one of Kuwait’s main public facilities for emergency trauma care, according to Ministry of Health records. The ministry’s annual health statistics document thousands of surgical procedures performed at major hospitals like Amiri for injury cases each year. Eye-related trauma from public altercations forms part of the broader emergency caseload tracked by health authorities.
The Ministry of Interior has directed increased monitoring of public recreational spaces including parks to address disturbances, ministry security updates show. Rapid response protocols guide officers in handling reports from areas such as Nuzha, which sees heavy visitor numbers during warmer months. Coordination between police stations, prosecution offices and hospitals forms a standard part of these responses.
Investigators from the General Department of Criminal Investigation continue to gather additional details from the scene and involved parties, police procedures indicate. Both youths are identified as Kuwaiti nationals in the initial reports. The case remains active as evidence collection proceeds through official channels.
