Colonel Jihad Sahoh, Director of Investigation and Search Department at Sharjah Police said that officers were deployed to an apartment in Al Khan area after receiving a call from a neighbour about a couple fighting. Upon reaching the residential tower, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers found a man bleeding excessively and immediately rushed him to hospital. Blood stains were identified inside and outside the block. The victim informed the police that his girlfriend stabbed him during a row, before fleeing the scene.

Police later located the woman, 32, in a hotel in a neighboring emirate and arrested her. During interrogation, she said that she and another compatriot man — the victim’s friend — were arguing with the victim, claiming that he stabbed her boyfriend then ran away.

The woman was referred to the concerned police station and the police have launched a search to arrest the second man.

Col. Sahoh lauded the quick response of CID officers for saving the life of the bleeding man.
