Brit who wore bikini in shopping mall let off

A British holidaymaker was questioned after stripping down to her bikini and walking through a shopping mall in Dubai.

The woman was buying clothes and gifts in a Dubai mall, fully dressed but in a low-cut top, when she was accosted by an Arab woman and criticised for wearing 'revealing clothing', according to the 'Daily Mail'.

The pair then became embroiled in a heated row in front of hundreds of bemused shoppers.

Incensed by the Arab woman's comments, the British woman told her to 'mind her own business' before stripping out of her clothes and 'taunting' the locals by walking around in only her bikini.

The mall's security team then intervened and detained the woman. She was later questioned by police but not formally charged.

The woman’s identity is unknown.
