Man Accused of Assaulting Three Policemen at Sliema Station Held in Custody

Charlton Mifsud, a haulier from Mqabba, was remanded in custody on Sunday after allegedly assaulting three police officers at the Sliema police station. The incident occurred Friday evening when Mifsud and his father were summoned regarding a dangerous driving report.

Upon arrival, Mifsud reportedly caused a disturbance by shouting and banging on a perspex screen. When officers attempted to calm him and requested his personal details, he refused and allegedly became violent. In the ensuing struggle, one officer sustained a fractured wrist while the other two suffered minor injuries.

Mifsud was charged with threatening and injuring the officers, resisting arrest, and grievously injuring one constable. He pleaded not guilty but was denied bail due to the serious nature of the offences and concerns about tampering with evidence.

The court also noted his history of similar offences, including drug-related crimes. His lawyer argued that Mifsud had been manhandled by the officers, but the court remained firm on its decision.

This incident follows another recent assault on police officers, prompting calls for harsher penalties for such crimes.

In March 2023, private text messages between Labour MP Rosianne Cutajar and Yorgen Fenech were made public, sparking widespread media attention and controversy.

Addressing the situation of her publicised private text messages during an appearance on ONE TV’s show Nafek, Cutajar expressed her deep distress over the publication of these messages, framing it as a deliberate act of character assassination.

Describing the experience as deeply painful, she remarked that this kind of public exposure was part of a broader pattern of attempts to undermine her credibility and position.

DreamWorks Animation has created a wide array of films that have left a lasting impact on popular culture. Kung Fu Panda introduced audiences to the lovable Po and his journey from clumsy underdog to martial arts hero, while Madagascar followed the hilarious adventures of zoo animals lost in the wild.
