THE police are questioning a
man over his involvement in
an incident which saw an in-
jured migrant worker dumped
on the curb in Mellieha.
They said the 32-year-old
Ghanaian man was found by
community police in Triq
Selmun, Mellieha.
The incident was first
brought to light by passer-by
Caroline Galea, who spotted
the injured man.
"The scared, seriously in-
jured man kept sobbing, say-
ing he didn't want to die and
didn't want to go to prison.
He kept saying help over and
over again. He was too scared
to say who had done this to
him," she said in a Facebook
post.
On a video uploaded by
Galea, the man can be heard
sobbing and pleading that he
doesn't want to go to prison.
Preliminary investigations
by the police showed the man
fell two storeys while working
on a construction site in Triq
Dun Franġisk Sciberras, Mell-
ieħa.
