Taxi Driver Hurt Breaking Up Fight Wins BD18,000
Whilst waiting in his parked car for a shawarma, a Bahraini taxi driver ended up with a broken hip after stepping in to stop a street fight. Now a court has ordered BD18,000 in damages. The row had broken out in Jid Ali between two men arguing over a failed car deal. The driver got out and tried to calm them down. He got caught in the middle. In the scuffle, he was shoved to the ground. The fall broke his femur, and he needed surgery, a new hip, and weeks off his feet. A medical panel later put the permanent damage at 30 per cent. Walking became a stiff, painful task. He took the matter to court, represented by lawyer Taqi Hussain, as the medical care had cost him thousands.
