TWO men allegedly savagely assaulted a security guard who tried to stop them from urinating at the premises he was guarding.

The two— Tanyarwadzwa Mupfurira and Munyaradzi Masukume — were not asked to plead when they appeared before Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo.

The complainant is Albert Taruvinga, a security guard.

Allegations are that on Monday, at around midnight at Hardwich Premises along Samora Machel Avenue in Harare, the two men stopped at the premises.

Taruvinga approached the duo and asked them what they were doing at the premises, which he was guarding.

Mupfurira told Taruvinga that he wanted to urinate at the place.

He allegedly withdrew a spanner from the car.

Taruvinga claims he was then assaulted by an object on the left side of his ribs.

The two men then fled from the scene after they saw some police officers who were on patrol. Taruvinga sustained a broken rib and arm.

Takudzwa Jambawo appeared for the State.
