notes: On 5 October 2020, a Muslim man previously involved in an incident of religious violence on 3 October 2020 retaliated against local Copts by beating a Coptic man and his son with a hose in Samalut (Markz Samalut, Menia), which caused them to fall off the bike they were on. The same day, a group of Muslims attacked local Copts and damaged their properties in Samalut after escalating tensions in the previous two days following the incident of religious violence at a wedding. Approximately 5 or 6 Copts were injured and houses had damage to the windows and doors. [size=no report]
