KUWAIT CITY: Police have arrested an Egyptian man for begging for alms in front of an unidentified mosque, reports Al-Anba daily. The 43-year-old beggar pretended to be dumb to gain the sympathy of people, however when police beat him up, he ‘retained’ his voice and begged police not to beat him.
| Chicago cops have known this trick for years. |
A police source said the man has been staying in the country illegally for the past two years. However, the Al-Watan said the man was carrying a forged civil ID in the name of a Kuwaiti man. |
