An Asian chef threatened to slit the throat of a woman and her baby unless she agreed to sell him her costly car. When she bowed to his threat, the cook gave her a dud cheque, but he was later arrested by the police.

The woman told police that she received a phone call from the chef and his friend after her manager posted her car for sale online.

She said that they told her they would pay Dh420,000 for the car and that they need her to come with them to the traffic department to have it registered in the chef’s name.

“She said that on the way, they threatened to slit the throat of the woman and her little daughter unless she agreed immediately to register the car in their name in return for a cheque,” the Arabic language daily Emarat Al Youm said.

After having the car registered in their name, she tried to cash the cheque, but it was without balance.

She informed the police who arrested the chef.

The woman identified him in a line at the police station.
