On Sunday, a Kuwaiti court sentenced a national who beat up an Egyptian expat earlier last year to 17 years in jail, Al Qabas newspaper reported.
The horrific assault saw the victim, who was later identified as Wahid Mahmoud Refaie, suffer severe injuries.
It went down after the accused man walked into the motorcycle repair store Refaie worked at, demanding that he fixes his vehicle.
When the worker told him he'd do that after lunch time, the Kuwaiti man launched his attack, repeatedly beating the victim and knocking him down.
The brutal incident was captured on CCTV cameras
