One killed in Kuwait 'Playstation' scuffle

One man was killed and three were injured in a scuffle over a play station set between Kuwaitis and Egyptian expatriates in oil-rich Gulf emirate.

Police said the fight involved nine Kuwaitis and 15 Egyptians and erupted when two Egyptian electronics shop workers in the eastern Hawalli city attacked Kuwaiti customers after an argument on the price of Playstation.

Quoted by 'Al Watan' newspaper, they said Egyptians in nearby shops joined the fight, prompting Kuwaitis to phone their friends.

One Kuwaiti came in his car and run over four Egyptians, killing one and injuring three others, they said, adding that most of those involved were arrested.
