Defendants attacked man who asked for space to wash his hand in a hotel bathroom
A group of men who attacked a British man and broke his tooth after he asked them to give him space inside a hotel’s washroom were sentenced to six months in jail, the Dubai court of First Instance heard.
When he regained consciousness, he found the three defendants waiting for him outside the bathroom’s door.
“I tried to leave the place when they blocked my way. They assaulted me with punches on my face and I was bleeding from my nose and lost one tooth,” the victim added.
He managed to reach the hotel’s reception and asked for help.
Records showed that all the four men were under the influence of alcohol.
According to Dubai Public Prosecution, the defendants claimed that the victim attacked them first.
A medical examination found that the victim suffered eight per cent permanent disability after losing a tooth and sustaining a nasal septum deviation.
The three defendants were charged with physically assaulting the British businessman and consuming alcohol without a license. They will be deported after serving their jail term.
Meanwhile, the British man was charged with assaulting the three defendants and referred him to a misdemeanour court.
