A 40-year-old man was taken to hospital, but is expected to survive his injuries. The victim has not been identified.

Dadshani — he has legally changed his name to Sayed Abdul Wahab Dadshani — was the central actor in a three-month trial that riveted the capital more than a decade ago.

He was one of six men accused of first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Charbel Chaar, who was chased inside the Midway Family Fun Park on Sept. 4, 2003, beaten, stabbed and slashed.

Chaar, with more than a dozen cuts to his hands and torso, died in hospital from massive blood loss.
