The case, which has been described as a “barbers’ turf war,” took place on Blackwood’s High Street around 14:45 GMT on 13 February. According to the proceedings at Newport Magistrates Court, the dispute arose from concerns about a new barber’s shop potentially opening in the nearby area of Newbridge.
During the hearing, it was revealed that a total of 16 individuals were involved in the altercation, resulting in several individuals sustaining injuries, with one individual requiring stitches for a stab wound. Among the men who appeared in court were Bave Hamed, Shahab Husseini, Sardam Ebrahimi, and Bryar Muradi, who all stood before magistrates on Monday and only spoke to confirm their names and dates of birth.
