In Tashkent, a man who injured his acquaintance with a sharp object over an iPhone 17 Pro Max has been detained. This was reported by the State Security Service.

According to the report, the suspect, a Tashkent resident born in 2003, had previously been convicted multiple times under several articles of the Criminal Code, including theft, intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm, illegal handling of documents and vehicle registration plates, and fraud. Despite this, he failed to reform and was working in phone trading at the Malika shopping complex, where he allegedly engaged in acts of hooliganism, extortion, and violence against others.

Specifically, the suspect sold four iPhone 17 Pro Max devices to an acquaintance under an agreement that payment would be made later. However, following a dispute between the parties, he allegedly attacked the buyer with a sharp object, repeatedly stabbing him in the face and abdominal area and causing serious bodily injuries.

It was reported that the suspect has been detained and a criminal case has been initiated against him under Article 277 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism).
