Woman spits on, threatens to kill Dubai police officers

Dubai - She was behaving in a belligerent and uncontrollable manner.

A woman has been charged at a Dubai court after she behaved aggressively and used force against two police officers.
According to public prosecution records, the 32-year-old Tajik woman was drunk when she kicked a policewoman, grabbed her hand and insulted her.
She also threatened to slay a police lieutenant.
The woman, who was in Dubai on a visit visa, fiercely resisted a policewoman as she did not want to be handcuffed and taken into Jebel Ali police station on September 8.
She was charged with assaulting, verbal abusing, threatening on-duty police officers and consuming alcohol without a license.
A policeman said he was on patrol duty at 9am when he was notified of a woman behaving erratically outside a residential building in Jebel Ali.
“When I reached the place, the security guard told me the woman wanted to go inside even though she was not a resident.”
The officer told the prosecutor the woman looked drunk and was shouting. “She said she wanted to go inside the building to drink liquor. I told her it is a residential building and doesn't have any. She couldn't understand but wouldn't leave either and continued to cause trouble.”
The station sent a female cop who took the accused in a patrol car. “Outside the police station, another policewoman came. As she was about to take her into custody, the suspect started to insult her and the police officers. She also poured water on her and on a police lieutenant,” the witness said.
Another policewoman said she was assigned by the on-duty lieutenant to take the defendant out of the police car and get her inside the detention.
“She was in a mess and heavily drunk. She was yelling hysterically and kept falling down. I was trying to help her stand up in vain.
"She asked for water then spit it from her mouth toward us. She would not let me handcuff her and take her inside. She used offensive language with us.”
The court will issue a verdict on November 25.
