A 25-year-old Filipina waitress filed a complaint against a man who inappropriately touched her while she was walking outside late at night.
The Dubai Court of First Instance heard the case of a 30-year-old Indian driver who has been accused of molestation after he allegedly groped the Filipina and fled the scene, reported Khaleej Times.
The Filipina said before the court that she was on her way to a supermarket with a friend when they walked past a group of five or six men.
She then said that one of the men groped her intentionally causing her to yell at him. However, the man only replied to her in an “abusive and vulgar manner”.
The complainant then said that the Indian man just started walking away while laughing as she screamed at him.
She said that she kept on yelling and following the suspect until an African man helped her and restrained the defendant.
She filed a complaint at the Bur Dubai police station.
The Indian man pleaded not guilty and defended that he only touched the Filipina by mistake.
A court ruling will be pronounced on October 11.
