Dubai: A worker, who hit his colleague in the mouth with a concrete block, will spend one year in jail.
The Dubai Court of First Instance found the 27-year-old Bangladeshi worker guilty of assaulting the 38-year-old victim.
He will be deported after serving his punishment.
The victim, M.A., sustained a 12 per cent permanent disability after fracturing his upper jaw and breaking his front teeth in the attack.
