A Pakistani man did not show up in the Court of First Instance on Sunday as he was about to get a verdict after he was accused of sexually harassing a shopper at a Dubai supermarket.
A Filipina complained about the 28-year-old carpenter grabbing her on December 19 last year at around 9 pm.
“I had just picked up a garbage bin to buy and was carrying it before walking to the cashier, when I felt someone hand’s on my behind. It was the defendant. He ran away when I hit him with the bin,” The Khaleej Times quoted her as saying.
The accused, however, during interrogation, claimed he touched the woman by mistake CCTV footage backed up the 32-year-old OFW’s claim as it showed the man standing behind the complainant and groping her on purpose.
The complaint was registered in December 2016 with Al Rafaa police.
