A European sailor is standing trial on charges of assaulting an official on duty in an inebriated state in Fujairah.
Last month, a police patrol team on spotting a vehicle zipping through Fujairah city at high speed chased it down.
According to Arabic dailies, they discovered that the driver was a European crew working on a vessel at the Fujairah Port.
When the cops asked him to accompany them to the police station, he got wild and first thrashed one of the officials and then proceeded to smash the patrol car.
They ultimately managed to nab him. They subjected him to medical examination, which confirmed that he was under the influence of alcohol.
He was referred to Public Prosecution and charged with assaulting a cop; damaging an official vehicle and consuming alcohol.

Two Sudanese students, both aged 20, allegedly assaulted a compatriot for dating a step-sister of one of them.
AAW and HYM beat AMO, 17, student, in the parking lot of Dubai’s Festival City and caused him three per cent permanent disability.
The victim testified while he was sitting with a girl called ‘S’ in a restaurant in Festival City on June 29 at around 12.30pm, a man approached him and asked him to accompany him.
“He claimed he was the girl’s uncle. On reaching to the parking lot, there were eight people including HYM who started beating me. Then the man who approached me joined them in beating and kicking me until I fainted. The security guard intervened and then my brother arrived and rushed me to the hospital. I learnt from ‘S’ that HYM is her step brother,” he testified.
Forensic reported that the victim sustained scratches and bruises in different parts of his body. He also sustained a fracture in his skull with an estimated permanent disability of 3 per cent.
