Man loses tooth for a tooth

In Saudi Arabia’s first ever ‘‘tooth for a tooth’’ case, a man who threw a rock at another man nine years ago - knocking two teeth out in the process - has been punished by having two of his own teeth extracted in public,.

A dentist pulled two teeth from the mouth of an unnamed 50-year-old Saudi In Al Baha, 180 miles south of Jeddah. He was also fined €23,000.
