Dumb beggar speaks again
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.
