The guard denied the request, explaining to her that he does not have the authority to break down doors a a guard, after which she returned to her room.

In the investigation report, the guard told the Public Prosecution that she returned back after five minutes while he was sitting, and harassed him -- pushed him several times before hitting him on the head from behind. She then insulted his religion (symbols) and used racist language against him.

He added that she later went to the reception of the building and destroyed three medium-sized CCTV monitor and connection cables worth Dh3,344.

While the victim was trying to protect the screens and keep them away from her, she bit him hard in the forearm of his left hand, where he sustained a superficial wound.
