An elderly man, around fifty years old, was assaulted by a member of the transitional government forces at a stadium while he was climbing to the stadium stand to attend a football match, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Observatory stated that the citizen is a person with disabilities, having a leg amputated and relying on crutches to walk. He was subjected to insults and severe beating. The incident comes as a result of security chaos and the absence of accountability in areas controlled by the transitional government.
