An Egyptian painter allegedly groped an unidentified woman customer’s behind several times in a supermarket while holding and waving his private parts with his hand.

Besides molestation, Dubai Prosecution accused MA, 28, also of indecent behaviour in a public place.

A security officer, assigned to surveillance cameras at the store, suspected the customer who was standing in the women’s section. Then he saw him walking behind a woman who was approaching the cashier. At the cash counter, while the woman was paying for her purchases with her back towards the accused, the latter was captured by the camera groping her several times. The security officer informed his senior, caught the man and informed the police.

Dubai Prosecution supplied the Court with the camera footage.

The Court will give its sentence on May 5.
