An Interior Ministry source on Saturday said security forces had arrested a businessman involved in assaulting a family of a retired army general in their house in New Cairo over a dispute between them.

In exclusive statements to MENA, the source added that the woman who was behind the dispute was also arrested after one hour from arresting her husband, the businessman.

Earlier, the ex-officer filed a complaint with the police saying that his granddaughter was playing outside their house in New Cairo when a speedy car was about to hit her. He added that the woman driving the car insulted him when he blamed her, and in the evening, her husband, a 52-year-old businessman, escorted by armed thugs, stormed their house and attacked them, he said.

The man, his wife, their son and his son’s wife sustained injuries and their villa’s furniture was damaged in the attack.

The businessman and three of the attackers were arrested.

A probe was launched into the incident.
