Two policemen sustained injuries in an attempt to arrest an Iranian student suspected of possessing drugs.

The Dubai Criminal Court heard on Tuesday that upon receiving reliable information about 26-year-old MDM possessing drugs, police officials first prepared documents to arrest him and then went to his house.
 
On seeing the cops the suspect tried escaping. When he was chased, MDM first attempted to get into the dog kennel and then tried jumping the wall. When the cops nabbed him, he allegedly assaulted them and gave them the slip. However, the injured cops followed and overcame him after a few minutes.
 
In the ensuing brawl, Ahmad Salem, police official, fractured one of his fingers and sustained bruises on both his arms. Saeed Ghanem, cop, sustain scratches on his right arm and bruises on his fingers and toes.
 
Both the policemen received treatment at Al Baraha Hospital, the court heard.
 
The court will reconvene to hear the case on November 11.
