POLICE have been directed to investigate an alleged assault by a
Saudi Arabian Embassy official on a condominium resident.
Mr A. Jaafar, 37, a senior executive, alleged that the Third
Secretary of the Saudi Arabian Embassy here, Mr Bader I.F.
Al-Balawi, attacked him when he told him not to park at a space
reserved for the handicapped at Glendale Park condominium in
Hillview Avenue.
He filed a Magistrate's Complaint against the embassy official,
and yesterday, a magistrate ruled that the complaint was serious
enough to warrant an investigation by the police.
