HIBAPRESS – A. Mahyaoui
Atlas 2 neighborhood in the city of Kenitra witnessed, this Thursday evening, just before the Maghrib prayer call, an assault inside a men's barber shop, which led to a state of security alert and anxiety among the residents.
A source familiar with the matter explained that the incident occurred in one of the alleys belonging to the 11th administrative annex, when a person got into a dispute with a young man inside the salon, before the matter escalated into an assault using a sharp weapon, which resulted in the victim being seriously injured and requiring urgent transfer to the hospital to receive the necessary treatment. The same source added that the security services arrived at the scene immediately after being notified of the incident, where the scene was secured and an investigation was opened to determine the circumstances and details of what happened, as well as to identify the suspect who left the scene immediately after the incident. A number of witnesses were also interviewed as part of the ongoing investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office. The source pointed out that a state of panic prevailed among the citizens who gathered near the scene of the incident, especially since the incident coincided with the period before Iftar during the month of Ramadan, a period that usually sees heavy traffic inside residential neighborhoods. Security investigations are ongoing to uncover the background of the incident, while the authorities affirm their continued efforts to enhance the sense of security and ensure the safety of citizens and their property.
