The Dubai Court of First Instance is hearing the case of two Canadian women who allegedly assaulted an on duty police officer.
Court records showed that the two women did not pay attention to the instructions of the officer to see their IDs but rather pushed the officer in response.
The two women also used abusive language against the police official during the incident that took place in July.
The police officer responded to a taxi driver’s complaint that the women failed to pay him when he brought them to their apartment.
The women are now facing physical and verbal assault charges and consuming alcohol without permit.
Hearing is set on December 10.
