A 27-year-old Bangladeshi worker allegedly attacked a Filipina secretary on a public road, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

The victim ECD, 28, secretary, testified that on September 18 she was taking the public transport bus to her place of work.

At 8am, the bus arrived at the bus station at Dubai Investments Park. She got down the bus and noticed that a man was walking behind her.

“Suddenly, I felt someone trying to hug me. I lost my balance and fell down. He tried to lift my skirt but I resisted. He groped my breasts and I started shouting and screaming for help.  When some people arrived at the scene, he tried to run away but someone caught him and held him until police arrived,” she testified.

The court adjourned the case for verdict until December 10.
