Watch: The Moment Public Urinators Hurled Bottle At Sliema Mayor’s Face
Exclusive footage sent to Lovin Malta shows the exact moment a foreigner threw a coke bottle at Sliema Mayor John Pillow, hitting him right in the face.
The assault came after the mayor intervened when he saw a group of foreigners publicly urinating on the beach at Qui-Si-Sana.
As detailed by the mayor, he decided to call out the women that were urinating on the beach, however, this was met by resistance.
The group of foreigners began to throw strings of profanity at the mayor as seen in the video, also being called a ‘pervert’ and a ‘paedophile’ in the process.
When Pillow saw the display of hostility, he decided to start taking a video of the woman who continued to direct curses towards him.
“As soon as they saw this, a man that was with the woman decided to throw a coke bottle at me from around six metres away,” Pillow recounted.
Pillow then remained in the area icing his face, while waiting for the police to come after reporting the incident. However, the man escaped before they arrived.
The mayor is now calling for an increase in police presence in the Sliema area, warning of the dangerous nature of certain encounters.
