A 46-year-old Bahraini vendor killed a Saudi man after the victim pissed on his clothes he was selling on the road in the Bahraini capital, Manama.

The defendant told police he was spreading used clothes for sale near a hotel when the 21-year-old Saudi started to piss in the place.

Newspapers quoted the Bahraini as saying he rebuked the Saudi for such an act but that the young tried to insult him.

A heated argument triggered a fight during which the Saudi pulled a knife and tried to stab the Bahraini, the papers quoted the defendant as telling police.

“I hit him on the head with a piece of wood, picked his knife and stabbed him many times…it was an act of self defence,” the defendant said.

The papers said the defendant refused to attend the court session on the grounds he is not guilty but quoted a Bahraini witness as saying he saw the defendant pulling a knife from his pocket and stabbing the Saudi.
