Cook molests woman in elevator

An Egyptian cook has been accused of kissing a woman in the lift after pretending to take a selfie, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

On May 29, at around 8.30 p.m., 36-year-old Canadian manager, JH, returned home.

"As I got into the lift, a curly haired man of about 170cm tall, with no beard and mustache, and wearing a cook's dress got into the lift.

"He asked me in Arabic, 'How are you?' Then he pretended to take a selfie with me. I refused to be photographed and as he was getting out of the lift, he kissed me on my left cheek," the lady testified.

Police investigated the case and arrested 20-year-old, AT.

The victim recognised the accused during the identification parade.

The court will pronounce the sentence on August 18.
