In Istanbul, a property owner attacked his tenant with a machete.

The incident occurred yesterday around 21:30 in the Tomtom neighborhood. According to the information obtained, Iranian national Soohasadat Mojsenalhosseini (27), who has a residential and business operating permit, rented a restaurant in the neighborhood about 1 month ago by paying 6 months' rent in advance. While the woman was running the restaurant, after a while, the property owners with whom she made the lease agreement complained, claiming that the woman insulted them.

THEY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE IRANIAN TENANT

The woman, whose statement was taken at the police station, was released after her statement at the courthouse but was sent to the Return Center. During her stay there, the woman's relatives continued to operate the restaurant. Following this, the property owners filed an eviction lawsuit due to the tenant's situation. While the case was ongoing, the woman, who was in the Return Center, was released about 1 month later under judicial control as a result of the investigation opened against her. The woman then returned to her restaurant and started operating it again.

CHASED WITH A MOP

Erkan E. (50), the brother of the property owners who learned about this situation, stormed the restaurant in the evening hours. Erkan E., who threatened the woman and the employees, began to attack with a machete he took out from his waist. In the incident, where the woman and her employees experienced horror, no one was injured, but the attacker caused damage to the workplace with the machete. The employee at the workplace first chased the attacker with a mop and then intervened with his hand, managing to get the attacker outside. The terrifying moments experienced in the restaurant, where panicked customers ran out, were captured by security cameras second by second. No one was injured in the incident.

THE ATTACKER WITH THE MACHETE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE WOMAN

After the incident, police teams who arrived at the scene upon notification detained the machete-wielding attacker. The attacker Erkan E., who was taken to the police station, was subjected to judicial proceedings for "attempted intentional injury" and "violation of the firearms law" after his statement was taken, and he was referred to the courthouse. The woman, who was complained about by the attacker Erkan E. for "insult," was released after her procedures were completed upon the prosecutor's instruction but was sent to the Return Center.

"HE ATTACKED THE CUSTOMERS AND THE OPERATOR"

The woman's lawyer, Hakan Akkaya, stated regarding the incident, "This evening, a horrifying attack by a machete-wielding assailant occurred. This attack stems from the issue between the property owner and the tenant. The property owner came to the business, took out the machete he had hidden at his waist, and attacked the customers and the operator, resulting in the incident. No one was injured in the incident, but there was material damage to the property. Due to the incident, customers left the business. The attacker was neutralized by a person present at the scene. The police who arrived later detained the individual. We stated that we are the complainants and plaintiffs," he said.
