Assaulting an on-duty employee carries up to 10 years' prison
Punishment for assaulting an employee while performing their duties varies depending on the type and outcomes of the assault. Insulting the employee through words, gestures, or threats is punishable by up to six months in prison or a fine of up to 200 Egyptian pounds. If the assault involves resistance, the use of force, or violence, the penalty can extend to six months in absentia imprisonment or a fine not exceeding 200 pounds. In cases of hitting or injuring the employee, the attacker may be sentenced to up to two years in prison or fined, with stricter penalties if a weapon is used or if the injury is severe enough to be considered serious, which can lead to imprisonment. Additionally, using force to compel an employee to perform or refrain from performing their duty unlawfully is punishable by imprisonment for 5 to 10 years, with harsher penalties if the assault results in permanent disability or death, or if it occurs within public transportation. It is required that the assault is connected to the employee's job duties, but it is not necessary for the assault to occur within the workplace premises.
