The police have confirmed that two battles involving foreign Syrian nationals broke out in just one night within nearly two hours of each other, leaving one man with grievous injuries and two others with slight injuries.

The first fight broke out at around 9pm in Triq Bja?ju Galea, Tarxien. Nine Syrian men began fighting with each other in the street using metal bars and knives, leaving one 23-year-old man with a grievously injured hand who had to be taken to Mater Dei, and others needed to be taken to the Paola clinic to receive medical assistance.

The men were between the ages of 21 and 32 years. A number of the fighters were arrested by members of the Rapid Intervention Unit.

Around two hours later, another fight broke out in Marsa

Two vans were seen driving to Triq Isouard in Marsa at around 11:15pm before pulling up to the side, NET News reported. A number of Syrian men exited the car in a hurry, and ran towards a residence where around 7 people were sleeping.

They were reportedly carrying metal rods as well as rocks. Soon after, a fight had erupted in the streets.

Police have confirmed that sharp objects were used in the fight, and one witness reportedly saw the police retrieve a sharp object from under a car.

Two men involved in the fight were treated for slight injuries. The fight involved Syrian men aged between the ages of 22 and 32 years.

The police are investigating whether the two fights are related. Investigations are ongoing.
