GEORGE TOWN: The Chinese New Year break led to several foreigners having too much to drink and getting involved in drunken brawls.
Police arrested five foreigners in two fights, one in Sungai Nibong on the island and another in Prai on the mainland.
Comm Mohd Shuhaily said in the 9.50pm incident, a 24-year-old man sustained facial injuries after being hit with a glass bottle by his housemate. He said a urine test done on the suspect came back negative for drugs, adding that the man was remanded for three days until today to help in the investigation.
The other fight involved intoxicated foreign nationals, and police arrested four men aged between 23 and 27 at Chai Leng Park in Prai in the wee hours of Sunday.
