A worker at an auto workshop stood trial at the Court of First Instance accused of sexually harassing an off-duty Dubai policewoman.
According to public prosecution records, the incident took place on June 13, last year, when the 35-year-old Iranian worker got close to the complainant who was in her car.
The complainant, 23, said she went to a workshop in Al Quoz to change the glass tinting of her car. "He stood very close to my car in a way that I could not step off. I told him to step away. I also removed his hand when he placed it on my left shoulder. But instead of staying away from me, he got close and kissed me on the left cheek and touched me."
The complainant then shut her car door and told the worker that she didn't want the tinting done. "He said he wanted to talk to me but I told him to move away from the car and I left the workshop and then called the police. The CCTV camera did not capture the defendant's act," she told the prosecutor.
A police officer, who responded to the incident report, said that the cameras installed inside the shop showed the defendant as he got his upper body inside the complainant's car through the window. "But the camera did not capture what he did inside the car."
The defendant, who was taken into custody shortly later, denied the charge.
The court will pronounce a ruling on January 29.
