MTV's website has learned that the Information Branch of Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces arrested, a few days ago, Hussein Hadraj and K. Al-Sablini, who allegedly opened fire on a young woman and a man in Beirut’s Ashrafieh district.
According to the information, Hadraj and Al-Sablini had gone to a nightclub in an area near the port. While there, a verbal altercation broke out between the two men and another young man who was accompanied by a woman.
After leaving the nightclub, Hadraj and Al-Sablini followed the man’s car. Hadraj then opened fire directly at the vehicle, injuring the woman, who was taken to hospital for treatment.
After the Information Branch was alerted, a unit managed to arrest the two men that same night at another nightclub in Beirut, where they had gone to continue their night out after the shooting.
Hadraj had previously been arrested on charges of opening fire at a vehicle in the Ramlet al-Baida area. Al-Sablini, meanwhile, is known for a widely circulated video filmed in downtown Beirut that showed him allegedly attempting to run over a member of the Internal Security Forces’ traffic unit.
