A verbal fight ensues again but, in the meantime, the British police arrive.Authorities said they detained the junior Safdar for punching a young man (physical assault) and confirmed that Hussain Nawaz's son Zakariya had also been arrested.
The injured man belonged to Pakistan, police said.In an earlier incident, a trolley was also hurled at the door to the Sharifs' apartment.Separately, Nawaz Sharif and his daughter flew off to Pakistan, a week after an accountability court sentenced them to 10 and seven years in jail in the Avenfield properties corruption case.
