An Afghan allegedly kicked and cursed a Filipina after she rebuked him for groping her lower back, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

JF, the 34-year-old victim, testified that on February 27, she was in a shop when a man passed behind her and groped her lower back with his right hand and put his left hand on her shoulder.

“I turned to him and hit his hand. He slapped my face and kicked me in my belly while cursing me, saying ‘bitch and thief,” she testified.

LR, 42, Filipina maid, repeated corroborative testimony.

The victim informed the police who arrested AG, 33, who hold a baker’s visa.

The accused admitted only to kicking the woman.

The accused is being prosecuted for cursing, assaulting and groping the woman and the court will give its sentence on September 9.
