The drivers were blocked on the road due to a stuck vehicle.
One of the passengers got out of the vehicle and tried to stop the oncoming traffic so that they could bypass the obstruction and continue their journey.
The accused's relative, who arrived there in his car, refused to comply with the request, and demanded that the three clear the road.
He then got out of the vehicle and started hitting the driver, and a confrontation developed between the two when the other two passengers in the vehicle tried to separate them.
A short time later, the accused arrived at the scene running, and joined the fight.
He hit the driver in the face, then took a hookah pole.
When the two approached the driver who was trying to bypass the blockade, they began to hit him on the head, resulting in his injury.
