An Arab man tried to rape an Arab woman after giving her a lift in Ras Al Khaimah although the woman was with her friend, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

The woman told police they were passing near a coffee shop in the northern city when the man came forward and politely offered them a lift, which they accepted.

On the way, he started to make advances before trying to rape the woman, the Arabic language daily Alkhaleej said, adding that the two women managed to flee the man and headed straight for the police station.

The unidentified man was tried on Wednesday and the court set its next session for another date to hear witnesses.
