As a result one of the victims, Abdul-Mumin was hit on the head with a shovel leading to the suspension of work."The other three victims were also hit with stones on their heads at the same spot at night on Monday when work resumed", he stated.The assemblyman further indicated that at the time of the incident he was outside the community but was informed through a phone call.
