Egyptian groom shot in the genitals during celebrations 24-hours to his wedding

An Egyptian bridegroom has been seriously injured after he was hit by shotgun pellets fired by a guest celebrating on the eve of his wedding.


The groom suffered serious injuries to his testicles, thigh and hand and is currently being treated in hospital.

According to reports, 28year old Osman al-Alsaied was enjoying his last night being single when the weapon was accidentally fired at him rather than into the air. Police say the gun was negligently fired by a 26-year-old man who fled the scene soon after the incident but was later arrested and is now being questioned.
