Passersby Foil Knife Attack as Arab Expat Arrested for Attempted Murder in Khaitan

A violent incident in Kuwait's Khaitan district was thwarted by quick-thinking bystanders who intervened to stop an attempted murder. The Ministry of Interior received an emergency call reporting the attack near a local bank. Responding police patrols found a man in his thirties with a stab wound to his hand. The suspect, an Arab expatriate, was reportedly subdued by passersby who disarmed him before officers arrived. During the initial investigation, authorities noted the suspect appeared to be under the influence of narcotics. A subsequent search of his belongings uncovered drugs and related paraphernalia. The man, born in 1988, was taken into custody and handed over to the General Department for Drug Control for further investigation into the source of the drugs. He is expected to face multiple charges, including attempted murder and possession of narcotics with intent to use or traffic.
