Tourist in Gozo hit by lead pellets

A tourist escaped unhurt last Wednesday when he was hit by lead pellets at a private residence in Xaghra.

The man, who went on to file a police report at the Victoria police station, reported having been in the back garden of a private residence when he was hit by the lead pellets. He however didn't require any medical attention.

Despite the spring hunting season closed on 30 April, hunting incidents are still being reported to the police, especially in Gozo.

At least a second report was filed on Thursday in Gozo reporting hunting witnessed being carried out on the sister island's countryside.
