A Tunisian salesman accused of groping a Serbian airhostess at a nightclub denied the charges at the Dubai Criminal Court on Sunday.

The victim, EZ, 32, testified that on October 26, while she was at a nightclub with her friends, the accused, 26, approached her requesting to dance with them. When they denied he started dancing anyways. As we moved away, he followed us – for almost five minutes.
 
“And then, I felt his hands on my back. That’s when I raised an alarm, pushing him back. But he punched me on my face, he told the court.
 
An Egyptian civil engineer, HAM, 35, also testified that he saw the accused approaching the victim while she was dancing. “And then I saw her shouting at him.”
 
People intervened and the club owner took the accused to the kitchen and kept him there until the police arrived.
 
The court will issue its verdict on December 30.
