He recounted how he had a dispute at some point with the other man over his unpaid wages. "I told him I would call the police if I did not get my full payment for working on that site."
As he decided to file a police complaint, the victim said he was was assaulted.
The accused were arrested few days later.
During the prosecution investigation, the defendants admitted that they assaulted the victim over money issues.
