Sharjah Police help reunite 75-year-old woman with family

Sharjah - She had stepped out for some fresh air, and failed to find her way back.

The Sharjah Police helped reunite a 75-year-old Arab woman -- who lost her way home and was found loitering aimlessly in Rumaitha area -- with her family.

The elderly woman was spotted by an Emirati lady. She noticed that the woman looked tired and exhausted.

The lady approached her to offer her help. The old woman said that she was visiting her son who lives in Sharjah. She told her that she decided to go out for some fresh air but failed to figure out the neighbourhood or the street leading to her son's house.

The Emirati woman then took her to traffic and license services centre of the police department, where she was provided with care and assistance.

After many attempts, the police officers at the center succeeded in identifying her family. The old woman's son was summoned to the centre. After confirming his identity, his mother was handed over to him. The police asked the son to provide her good care and not to leave her alone.
