Dubai man on trial for breaking wife’s nose

Date:

Emirati suspected that the woman was apying on him

Dubai: A man has gone on trial at the Dubai Court of First Instance after he was accused of punching and strangling his wife because he thought she was spying on him.

The 32-year-old Emirati wife told prosecutors that in August last year, she was in a hotel in Barsha with her Emirati husband and two sons when he assaulted her.

“All of the sudden, he had a hysterical fit and thought that I was spying on him. He punched me in the face and strangled me with his hands,” she alleged.

She claimed that she tried to escape and went outside the room, but he chased her and closed the door on her leg before knocking her to the ground.

“He punched me again in the nose but later security guards and some hotel guests stopped him and the police arrived. I was transferred to hospital,” she added.

Dubai Police restrained the 29-year-old Emirati defendant who admitted to assaulting his wife.

A medical report revealed that she suffered a broken nose and 15 per cent permanent disability.

Prosecution charged the defendant with physical assault and damaging hotel property worth Dh10,890.

The trial has been adjourned until February 20.
