Dubai’s traffic police seized an Emirati driver and his car after he was seen involved a risky stunt performance in the busy Mamzar area which usually attracts many families, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The Arabic language daily Emirat Alyoum carried a 70-seond film showing the four-wheel car turning a roundabout on two tyres in the evening. It said the vehicle was spotted by a civilian traffic police patrol in the area.

When the patrol tried to stop the car, the driver and his friends inside the vehicle fled, prompting the patrol to stop the chase to avert an accident. But it managed to record its plate number and sent it to the police command.

On the next day, police called the car owner and asked him to come but he did not, the paper said, adding that police decided to watch its movements later.

“It was then spotted parked near a café behind Rumaitha club…the patrol parked the police car behind his car and blocked his way…when he returned to his car, he was seized and his vehicle was towed away by a police support vehicle,” the paper said, quoting Dubai traffic police chief Major General Mohammed al Zafin.

Zafin repeated earlier comments that drivers caught involved in stunt performances would be prosecuted.
