Unrest on Dhiffushi island in Kaafu atoll has been brought under control, police have said, after two nights of violence left six men injured.
Two men were stabbed and one was beaten for information during violence provoked by a recent string of robberies on the island.

“We arrested one man for assault with a sharp object. The situation in Dhiffushi is now under control,” she said.
