The victim reportedly asked him to wait until he got the cash, but the accused followed him inside the room and made an attempt to rape him.
A woman who shared the apartment witnessed the accused assaulting the victim.
The accused was arrested on March 4, 2022, at the Hor Al Anz area. According to him, the Filipino customer rather told him to enter the house to receive AED 69 even though he had refused as the company policy did not allow them to enter houses to deliver orders..
