The Dubai Police have honoured a traffic cop for risking his life to clear traffic on the Sheikh Zayed Road recently. The road saw some traffic accidents that caused a massive traffic jam.
Debris from the accidents further worsened the traffic situation. Mahdi Taseem Qassem from the General Department of Traffic stepped out of his vehicle and removed some of these objects from the middle of the road so as to clear traffic.
A photographer, who happened to be stuck in traffic at the time, clicked him while going beyond the call of duty.
Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police Major-General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri praised the positive role played by officer Mahdi. "The Dubai Police are proud of his actions," he stressed.
