Scuffle Erupts in Beirut Neighborhood
A fierce brawl broke out in Beirut’s Abou Shaker Square in Tariq el-Jadideh among knife wielding groups, the National News Agency reported on Friday.
NNA said a number of young men wielding knives waved them in the face of other young men from the same locality.
Consequently, several shops in the region closed their doors fearing repercussions, amid loud screaming and threats traded by both sides of the fight.
According to locals, the fight had broken out last night and renewed today. The reason remain unknown.
Members of the Internal Security and the Army arrived at the scene and launched investigation into the incident.

The security forces should jail them for at least 1 year. The last thing lebanon needs is for thugs to start brawling left and right whenever there is an issue or someone doesn't have money for cigarettes and decides to take out his anger on others. A large section of our "men" need dictators to keep them in check otherwise they would go and make a mess in their homes and on the streets. Zero tolerance for za3raneh

Yes if the alternative to dictatorship had been a system that actually educates and takes action to get rid of the filthy thug mentality that so many men feel drawn to. But we don't have such a system of tarbieh. That is why an iron fist is needed towards them. We are not like Europe. If its either harm the thugs or let regular people get harmed then its best to let the thugs be the ones who suffer.
